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.
