At Discovered Materials, we build AI agents that discover new materials for semiconductor chips.

AI chips have major power and heat problems, which is why datacenters consume unsustainable amounts of power and water today. Both the amount of power required and heat generated are influenced by the materials used to make chips. Today's materials are at their limit, and we want to bring in an order of magnitude of improvement by using new ones.

We are backed by a $9M seed round led by Lightspeed, with participation from Y Combinator and angels like Paul Graham, Gokul Rajaram and Thariq Shihipar.
