About Resolv
Resolv Technology makes the InSite Pro, a handheld radar imager for people who work on buildings. The device sees through drywall, cement board and insulation. It shows studs, pipes, wires, ducts and leaks on a screen in real time. Plumbers, electricians, HVAC installers, general contractors and property managers use it to check a wall before they cut or drill. An optional companion app lets users save, annotate and share the scans they capture.
Resolv was founded in 2023 in Massachusetts. Its co-founders are Mike Ellenbogen, chief executive officer; Dave Reissfelder, chief financial officer; David Smith, chief scientist; and Aaron Diebold, principal scientist. David Smith is a Duke University researcher who works on electromagnetic metamaterials. Resolv grew out of research at Duke University's Pratt School of Engineering. It closed a seed round of about five million dollars, led by MetaVC Partners, according to Duke's Pratt School.

Why Investors Backed Resolv
Resolv Technology makes the InSite Pro, a handheld radar imager that shows what is hidden behind a wall. The company grew out of metamaterials research at Duke University and closed a seed round backed by MetaVC Partners. Its founders combine startup experience with academic work in radar and imaging. Investors are backing a device meant to cut the costly mistakes that come from cutting into walls blind.
The problem it targets
Walls hide pipes, wires, ducts and structural framing from the people who work on them. Resolv's case is that this blind spot costs billions of dollars in damage and wasted work every year. Contractors, plumbers and electricians often must guess what sits behind a wall before they cut or drill, risking costly repairs and delays.
What the product does
The InSite Pro is a handheld device that reads radar signals and turns them into a real-time image of what sits behind drywall, cement board or insulation. It shows studs, pipes, wires, ducts, leaks and other damage on a screen as the user rolls the device along a wall or ceiling. The company built its own sensors and pairs them with AI image processing to sharpen the picture. An optional camera and thermal-imaging accessory, plus a companion app for saving and sharing scans, round out the system.
Progress so far
The InSite Pro is still listed as coming soon, with Resolv collecting names on a waitlist rather than shipping orders. Duke University lists a research grant to Resolv Technology for characterizing materials at microwave frequencies, running from December 2025 to May 2026. The grant points to continued work tied to the company's academic origins at Duke.
Who backs it
MetaVC Partners led Resolv's seed round. Chris Alliegro, the firm's managing partner, said Resolv shows the kind of translational science his firm looks for in an investment. Alliegro also sits on Resolv's board as a director.
