Chip design startup Tattvam AI has secured $1.7 million in a pre-seed funding round led by Seedcamp with participation from EWOR, Entropy Industrial Ventures, Concept Ventures, and semiconductor angel Stan Boland.
The London-based deeptech startup will invest the funds in engineering and research and development (R&D). A portion of the funds will also be used to launch partnerships with chip design teams, and gain market entry.
The company was founded by Bragadeesh Suresh Babu and Lannan Jiang to develop custom silicon chips. These refer to purpose-built chips used for specific workloads like AI training. Custom silicon chips can deliver hundred times more performance compared to general-purpose hardware such as graphics processing units (GPU), and reduce energy consumption.
The startup is working on an artificial intelligence (AI) model that understands circuits from first principles to automate semiconductor chip design. The model would consider the constraints, trade-offs, and interdependencies of chip design like an engineer would.
"Despite a deep lack of data -- semiconductor designs are almost universally closed source -- the Tattvam team has hustled its way into the hallowed hallways of the semiconductor industry to unlock the beginnings of a world-class product," said Will Bennett, investor at Seedcamp.
The AI startup plans to launch its first product in the coming months.
