Founded in 2023 by Bragadeesh Suresh Babu and Lannan Jiang, Tattvam AI is building an AI system that deeply understands circuit structures and autonomously solves complex semiconductor design tasks. Its reasoning model works from first principles, factoring in constraints, trade-offs, and interdependencies to cut typical chip design cycles from years to weeks. By automating key elements of electronic design automation (EDA) workflows, the company seeks to make custom silicon more accessible, lower development costs, and enable rapid iteration on next-generation chips. Tattvam AI’s technology targets purpose-built processors that can deliver up to 100× performance gains over general-purpose GPUs for specific workloads such as AI training and inference. The startup plans to launch its first commercial product in the coming months while collaborating with leading chip design teams. Proceeds from its recent financing will be deployed to grow the engineering team, accelerate research, and expand industry partnerships. No revenue or user metrics have been disclosed to date.

EraDrive is a California-based startup spun out of Stanford University that is building artificial-intelligence modules to give spacecraft the ability to operate autonomously. Its software and hardware allow satellites to avoid collisions, maintain safe distances, execute proximity maneuvers, control orbits, and fly in formation without continuous human commands. The company was founded by Sumant Sharma, Justin Kruger, and Stanford professor Simone D’Amico. With its technology, EraDrive aims to reduce operators’ reliance on ground control, lowering operational costs and enhancing mission flexibility. The newly secured funding will finance the first production runs of its autonomy modules, extend capabilities for low-Earth-orbit missions, and expand the engineering team. EraDrive is also forming partnerships with satellite manufacturers, commercial operators, and defense stakeholders to integrate its systems into upcoming missions.

Aletiq builds a SaaS product lifecycle management (PLM) platform for industrial manufacturers across aerospace, automotive, electronics, luxury and other sectors. The platform serves as a single source of truth for product data, including CAD files, specification sheets and quality requirements, and integrates with customers' existing CAD and ERP systems. Aletiq offers supplier portals and co-design collaboration features to support supply chain traceability and partner data sharing. The company emphasizes an intuitive, quick-to-deploy SaaS approach, saying deployments take a few months and customers can see ROI after one quarter, positioning itself against legacy on-prem PLM incumbents. Since its 2019 founding the product is used by about 5,000 people across 10 countries, with customers including Safran, Hutchinson and Lisi Group. The startup announced a €6M (about $6.5M) founding round led by Point Nine to support its growth and wider adoption.
