ChipAgents Raises $60M to Power Agentic AI for Chip Design

THE VOLT VOTES

ChipAgents has raised an additional $60 million in Series A2 financing, expanding its Series A round to $134 million just six months after the initial close. The new capital underscores investor confidence in the company’s momentum, with B Capital joining Bessemer Venture Partners, Micron, MediaTek, Ericsson, ScOp and other existing backers.

The fresh funding follows a standout first half of 2026, when ChipAgents posted 6x ARR growth and rolled out its platform at more than 120 semiconductor companies worldwide, including MediaTek and Micron. Over this period, the company has built one of the industry’s leading autonomous platforms for chip design and verification, positioning agentic AI as a core layer in modern semiconductor engineering.

Since its founding in 2024, ChipAgents has raised more than $134 million to power its next phase of expansion, including scaling customer deployments, growing engineering and go-to-market teams, and accelerating its AI-native semiconductor design platform.

The platform applies domain?specific AI agents to design workflows that have long depended on manual engineering effort, targeting bottlenecks in complex verification and implementation stages.

Rather than acting as traditional AI copilots that assist with individual coding tasks, ChipAgents’ specialized agents can independently plan and execute end-to-end design and verification workflows. By compressing engineering tasks that once took months or weeks into days or hours, the platform boosts engineering productivity and helps teams keep pace with rising design complexity.

With autonomous agents that handle multi-step engineering activities, ChipAgents’ AI-native platform reduces manual workload, speeds chip development and shortens time-to-market for advanced semiconductor devices. This shift from assistive tools to fully agentic workflows aims to redefine how chipmakers approach design and verification at scale.

“ChipAgents has demonstrated the rare combination of breakthrough AI innovation and exceptional commercial execution,” said Daisy Cai, General Partner, B Capital. “As semiconductor design grows increasingly complex, engineering teams need AI that can execute meaningful portions of the workflow, not simply assist with coding. ChipAgents has translated cutting-edge AI research into a platform that customers are deploying in production, and we believe the company is well positioned to define the next generation of semiconductor engineering.”

“Semiconductor engineering teams face rising pressure to deliver more sophisticated designs in less time,” said Henry Huang, Investment Director, Venture Capital at Micron. “ChipAgents is addressing that challenge by enabling engineers to automate advanced design and verification work, accelerate design timelines, and improve engineering productivity. We’re excited to continue supporting the company’s growth as autonomous AI becomes increasingly essential across the semiconductor industry.”

“We are always looking for companies that solve meaningful challenges,” said Brian Hsu, Managing Director of MediaTek Innovation Fund. “ChipAgents is spearheading this transformation of AI chip design and verification with a reliable solution that well harnesses the diversity of design workflow and delivers measurable gains in real-world production. We believe it is uniquely positioned to define the next generation of AI-native semiconductor development.”

“As the industry deals with the simultaneous pressures of increasing architectural complexity and time-to-market pressure, semiconductor companies need solutions that increase productivity, shrink time-to-market, and minimize the risk of design flaws,” said William Wang, CEO and Founder of ChipAgents. “We’re enabling the industry to move beyond AI assistants toward autonomous agents that can execute meaningful engineering work. Our customer growth shows that semiconductor companies are ready for that shift, and this financing allows us to bring that capability to even more engineering teams.”
