Deeptech startup Tattvam AI has raised $1.7 million in a pre-seed funding round led by Seedcamp, with backing from EWOR, Entropy Industrial Ventures, Concept Ventures, and semiconductor angel Stan Boland.
The funding will support the company’s efforts to advance its AI-driven semiconductor chip design platform and expand its engineering capabilities.
The company said the capital will be used to scale its engineering team, speed up research efforts, launch its first commercial product, and deepen collaborations with global chip design teams.
Founded in 2025 by Bragadeesh Suresh Babu and Lannan Jiang, Tattvam AI is building AI-driven systems that automate complex semiconductor chip design workflows. The startup is working on an AI reasoning layer that understands circuit structures, constraints, and trade-offs from first principles, enabling faster and more efficient chip development.
Tattvam AI is focused on enabling custom silicon design, allowing chips to be tailored for specific workloads such as AI training and inference. According to the company, this approach can significantly improve performance while reducing power consumption compared to general-purpose hardware.
The startup aims to shorten chip design timelines from multiple years to a matter of weeks by automating key steps in electronic design automation workflows. Tattvam AI plans to roll out its first product in the coming months as it works with partners on next-generation semiconductor programs.
Headquartered in London, Tattvam AI is positioning itself at the intersection of AI and semiconductor design, with long-term plans to support the growing global demand for faster, application-specific chip development.
