About ChipAgents
ChipAgents builds an agentic AI platform for semiconductor design and verification. Agentic means software agents that carry out multi-step engineering tasks on their own, such as turning a chip specification into RTL (the register-transfer level code that describes a circuit), writing verification tests and tracing the root cause of failures. It sells to chip design teams rather than making chips itself. The company was founded in 2024 by William Wang, a professor at UC Santa Barbara who serves as chief executive, and is headquartered in Santa Clara, California.
ChipAgents was founded in 2024 and is based in Santa Clara, United States. It is listed under AI Accelerators. Reported funding is $50M Series A1 (Feb 2026, led by Matter Venture Partners); $74M total.
