Silimate
The co-pilot for chip designers
Silimate is the co-pilot for chip designers; it finds functional bugs, predicts PPA issues, and recommends real fixes in real-time alongside RTL development. Today, chip teams spend most of their 12-18 month design cycles converging to functional correctness and optimized PPA (power/performance/area). With Silimate, chip designers write correct, PPA-optimized RTL code from the onset and build better chips in less time.

Akash Levy
Co-founder & CTO of Silimate. Akash has a PhD from Stanford in Electrical Engineering, with technical expertise spanning EDA, AI, and cloud through his time at Synopsys, NVIDIA, and AWS. He has taped out 3 chips, published 14 papers on circuit design, and has a pending patent in the EDA space.
Company Launches
TL;DR: Silimate helps chip teams converge to functional correctness and optimized PPA faster, so that they can build better chips in less time.
❌ The Problem
The world needs specialized semiconductor chips to be built faster for the rapidly-evolving software workloads in datacenters and at the edge.
Yet, chip teams today face time- and effort-intensive bottlenecks in converging to functional correctness and optimized PPA (power/performance/area). These bottlenecks account for most of the typical 12-18 month chip development cycle, and impede chip teams’ ability to make important changes to their designs in late project stages — when real, data-driven issues tend to surface from simulations.
✨ Our Solution
Silimate finds functional bugs, predicts PPA issues, and recommends real fixes in real-time alongside RTL development. Chip designers get a context-aware RTL companion that helps them write correct, PPA-optimized RTL from the onset, and build better chips in less time.
We’re live with chip design teams today.

🌎 Why Now
Death of Moore’s Law, an explosion of custom chip architectures, geopolitics (CHIPS Act), talent shortage, massive demand for AI chips, and increasing complexities in advanced chip design – we’re building the pickaxe for the silicon renaissance.
