O que matforge faz

We build AI scientists that discover new materials for the semiconductor industry - specifically datacenters and fabs. Finding novel materials today takes 10+ years of lab work. We aim to compress that timeline to months, using a swarm of AI agents. Akash completed his PhD at Stanford on material discovery for semiconductors. The materials he discovered for nanoscale interconnects have been adopted into the roadmaps of Intel and TSMC. Advaith was the founding applied scientist at Persona AI (acquired by Luma Labs), where he built long horizon autonomous agents for major telecom and crypto companies. Power consumption and heat release from AI chips is doubling every year. The semiconductor industry needs new materials to keep this exponential going - Matforge will help find them.

AI scientists that discover materials for semiconductors

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build a platform that uses swarms of AI agents to rapidly discover new materials specifically for semiconductor fabs and datacenters. Our product compresses a process that normally takes 10+ years of lab work into months by automating hypothesis generation, simulation, and validation steps to find materials that solve chip power and heat problems.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We currently live and work in San Francisco, CA, and the company will remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose San Francisco because it's where we live and because of its access to top AI talent and semiconductor industry connections, which are critical to building and scaling our product.
