Tattvam AI raised $1.7M pre-seed to automate chip design, compressing development from years to weeks. Founded by an IIT Madras alumnus and ETH Zurich researcher, the startup builds reasoning models that understand circuit trade-offs like expert engineers. By targeting physical design—the most manual bottleneck in semiconductors—this could democratize custom silicon, which delivers up to 100x performance for specialized workloads. AI designing hardware marks a fundamental shift in computing's evolution.
