We've raised $700M at a $21B valuation from Jane Street, Kleiner Perkins, Sequoia, A16Z, Peter Thiel, BCV, and Blackstone.
We're also excited to share that we've shipped our first rack to Jane Street.

Before leading the round, Jane Street tested our hardware. In their words:
“We tested the chip and are pleased with the early results. Etched’s unique approach to inference delivers the precision we will need to support our most demanding workloads.”

We're grateful for our customers, suppliers, and investors for enabling us to ramp production.
Under 1% of the world has access to frontier models. Scaling intelligence requires a new kind of inference hardware.
Our mission has never been more urgent.
