CEO Bragadeesh was an early engineer at Fractile (custom AI chips) and CoMind (just raised $100M). Google offered him a spot on the TPU team. He turned it down to build Tattvam.

Co-founder Lannan Jiang built high-performance chips at ETH Zurich and Analog Devices. Their angel is semiconductor legend Stan Boland - he sold Element 14 to Broadcom and Icera to Nvidia for $1B+ combined. He calls them the most compelling young team in chips.

Chip design is absurdly manual. A small change takes months and there aren't enough engineers who know how. Tattvam compresses that from years to weeks. Custom silicon can deliver 100× performance gains, if you can actually design it fast enough.

They've raised $1.7M pre-seed from Seedcamp to reinvent a process the world spends $60B a year on. Every AI lab, hyperscaler, and defense program wants custom silicon yesterday.
