Vedo Systems

What Vedo Systems does

Vedo Systems, LLC is a Houston-based private software and engineering services firm founded in 2016 that builds AI-driven fault detection, predictive analytics, simulation, and autonomy solutions for mission-critical aerospace and defense systems. Its core product is Whetstone, a proprietary no-code AI platform that automatically generates predictive models from user telemetry and sensor data to detect anomalies in real time across spacecraft, software platforms, and other complex systems. Complementing the software, the company offers a portfolio of engineering services including embedded software integration, high-fidelity simulation and stress testing, Real-Time Fault Detection and Diagnosis (RT-FDD), rapid AI model generation, autonomy-enabling solutions, and customized engineering consulting with knowledge transfer.

The company operates through two revenue streams: subscription-based Whetstone licensing sold in Basic, Professional, and Enterprise support tiers, and bespoke engineering services sold on a project basis. Its primary customer segment is Aerospace & Spaceflight (NASA programs including Orion, Gateway, Artemis, and SR-1F) alongside commercial space customers such as Axiom Space, accessed largely through a prime-contractor relationship with METECS on the multi-year NASA Simulation and Software Support (SASS) contract. A secondary horizontal segment — Industrial & Enterprise Systems, including medical devices — is targeted via the Whetstone platform but not yet evidenced by named customers. The firm employs 1–10 people, is founder-led by Amanda Acevedo, and is structured as a Texas LLC without disclosed external investment.
