Thrilled to share that @uncorkcap led @phinity_ai’s $5.2M seed round! Phinity is building AI systems to design, verify and eventually tape out chips. In seven years in venture, I’ve never seen a ramp like this: $0 to eight figures in annualized run rate in under three months. I first met @sonyashijin and @aadi_nash late last year, when Phinity was only a few months old and had no customers or revenue. Rather than simply layering coding agents onto existing workflows, Phinity is training AI models to design chips themselves. Since then, they've assembled an incredible team from NVIDIA, Intel, and frontier research labs. Phinity's agents have outperformed experienced hardware engineers on power, performance and area, even when those engineers were using frontier coding agents, and the system produces verified designs an order of magnitude faster. If you're at a frontier lab or semiconductor company and want to dramatically shorten your chip design process, the Phinity team would love to chat. And if you want to work on one of the hardest technical problems out there, they're hiring! More on why we invested: uncorkcapital.com/blog/reinv…
