Bronco is building the AI operating system that will run every industrial firm from manufacturing to supply chain to defense. We will unify and make useful every bit of information in the physical economy.

Full description — after

Bronco is an applied AI lab helping chipmakers keep Moore’s law going. Our mission is to build AI silicon verification engineers that find bugs, drive functional coverage, and help companies ship working chips on time. We're currently deployed alongside verification teams at leading chip companies building next generation hardware (4 nm process node). We are well-funded and backed by tier-1 investors, including YC, 8VC, Elad Gil, SV Angel, and Contrary Capital. We have also established strong relationships with the leading academic and industry researchers in the field of AI for chip design. Our advisors have won multiple Best Paper Awards at leading conferences, been cited tens of thousands of times, and received some of the highest honors in the microelectronics and EDA industries.

Summary

Bronco shifted from building a broad AI operating system for all industrial companies to a highly specialized applied AI lab focused exclusively on chip design verification for semiconductor companies. The new business is fundamentally different in product, market, and problem; it would be astonishing to someone tracking the company.
