Tell us about your company.
MooresLabAI, founded in 2025, is transforming semiconductor development using specialized AI automation. With our platform, chip design teams can accelerate their schedules by up to 7x and cut pre-fabrication costs by 86%. We integrate seamlessly into existing workflows, helping semiconductor companies rapidly deliver reliable silicon.
What problems are you solving?
Semiconductor design is notoriously expensive and slow – verification alone can cost tens of millions and take months of engineering effort. Our VerifAgent™ AI platform automates and dramatically accelerates these verification processes, reducing human error and addressing the critical talent shortage facing the industry.
What application areas are your strongest?
Our strongest traction is with companies designing custom AI, automotive, and mobile chips. Our early adopters include major NPU providers and mobile chipset developers who are already seeing impressive productivity gains and significant reductions in costly errors.
What keeps your customers up at night?
They worry about verification delays, costly re-tapeouts, and stretched engineering resources. With MooresLabAI, our customers experience significantly faster verification cycles, fewer late-stage bugs, and can do more with existing resources, easing these critical pain points.
What does the competitive landscape look like and how do you differentiate?
Many current AI tools provide general assistance but are not built specifically for semiconductor workflows. MooresLabAI uniquely offers end-to-end, prompt-free automation designed explicitly for silicon engineering. We seamlessly integrate with all major EDA platforms and offer secure, flexible deployment options, including on-premises solutions.
What new features/technology are you working on?
We are expanding beyond verification to offer complete end-to-end chip development automation—from architecture and synthesis to backend physical design, firmware generation, and full SoC integration. Our modular AI-driven platform aims to cover the entire silicon lifecycle comprehensively.
How do customers normally engage with your company?
Customers typically start with our pilot programs, which clearly demonstrate value with minimal initial effort. Successful pilots transition smoothly into subscription-based engagements, with flexible licensing options tailored to customer needs. For those hesitant about immediate adoption, we also offer verification services to quickly address specific project needs.
