About
Root Access is an applied AI company building developer tools for embedded systems and firmware engineers. The company's flagship product, Hideout, is a universal IDE for programming mission-critical hardware that enables engineers to configure peripherals, generate firmware, compile across toolchains, and validate code before deployment. An AI agent called Seb lives inside Hideout and uses fine-tuned models and a proprietary RAG system to generate custom firmware by ingesting hardware datasheets. Root Access has strategic partnerships with Altium (PCB design) and Octopart (component data), and counts Mitsubishi Electric and East West Manufacturing as early customers. The company was founded in 2024 in New York and raised $2.1 million in pre-seed funding led by AlleyCorp.
