Our Mission

At Vertical Compute,
we reimagine the
foundations of AI,
starting by breaking
the memory bottleneck
that holds it back.

At Vertical Compute,
we reimagine the
foundations of AI,
starting by breaking
the memory bottleneck
that holds it back.

We’re building a new kind of chip technology, compact, efficient and integrated, to unleash data flow and make AI run faster, greener and more affordably. Delivered as modular chiplets, our solution empowers chipmakers to do more with less and fosters the creation of new products, new uses, and new opportunities. We’re not just building for today, we’re enabling the future of compute for everyone, everywhere.

Our Vision

we believe the future
of AI should be affordable, private and sustainable.

Our vision is to unlock the full potential of AI by putting it closer to people, in your pocket, on your wrist and certainly on your terms. We imagine a world where everyone - not just big tech - can benefit from powerful, secure and eco-friendly AI for business acceleration or personal assistance. By shifting the boundaries of what’s possible, we aim to give individuals and businesses back control over how AI is used in their everyday lives.
