Palo Alto's Architect Labs raises $24 million seed for chip design
Business
Architect Labs, a Palo Alto startup, just landed $24 million in seed funding to make custom chip design faster and cheaper using AI.
Right now, making chips takes years and costs a fortune, but Architect Labs wants to build smarter hardware for things like AI and robotics without all the hassle.
Founders aim to democratize chip design
Founded by Ebrahim Hussain and Aaditya Subedi, the team includes 18 machine learning and hardware pros working to make custom chips as easy as TSMC made manufacturing.
The funding was led by Kindred Ventures, plus investors from Google DeepMind, OpenAI, NVIDIA, and more.
Subedi sums it up: they want chip design to be accessible for chipmakers or software companies alike.
