Rovilus

Rovilus is a seed-stage hardware startup founded in 2018 by YenChe Huang and Katherine Kan, developing thermal management technology for industrial battery packs. The company raised roughly $150K from 500 Global (formerly 500 Startups) and appears in that firm's portfolio. It was surfaced as a portfolio company of 500-global and added to the API Evangelist network as an enrichment lead. As of this enrichment pass the company's website (rovilus.com) no longer resolves (NXDOMAIN, no NS/MX records), and no public API, developer portal, SDK, documentation, or other developer surface could be found; Rovilus is a physical battery-thermal hardware company with no API footprint.

Rovilus is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Hardware, Battery, Thermal Management, and Energy Storage.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Energy & Utilities regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/.
