Toronto’s Tenstorrent Raises Over $200 Million At $1 Billion Valuation

May 22, 2021 by Robert Lewis

Hardware startup Tenstorrent has raised over $200 million in a recent funding round that values the company at $1 billion.

Headquartered in Toronto, with offices in Austin, and Silicon Valley, Tenstorrent is a next-generation computing company with the mission of addressing the rapidly growing compute demands for software 2.0.

Tenstorrent brings together experts in the field of computer architecture, ASIC design, advanced systems, and neural network compilers.

The new round was led by Fidelity Management and Research Company and includes additional investments from Eclipse Ventures, Epic CG and Moore Capital. Previous Tenstorrent backers include Eclipse Ventures and Real Ventures.

“Our goal is to continue creating AI focused hardware for developers,” said Ljubisa Bajic, Tenstorrent’s CEO. “Having a great investor like Fidelity is going to help us build a sustainable company for the long term.”

Tenstorrent’s Grayskull processor will go to market in the second half of 2021. In addition, Tenstorrent will be launching DevCloud which will allow developers to try running their models without first having to purchase hardware. Larger systems powered by Tenstorrent’s technology will be available through partners.

“We are bringing to market a high programmable chip at an accessible price point as a means of driving innovation,” said Jim Keller, Tenstorrent’s CTO. “AI is going to transform the data-center and Tenstorrent’s architecture is best positioned to address this data-written future by being a developer focused solution.”

Tenstorrent is currently hiring engineers in Toronto.
