Azimuth-ai

Azimuth AI is an embedded silicon product company developing highly differentiated ASICs (Application-Specific Integrated Circuits) for edge computing applications, focusing on accessible computing and building a more equitable future through energy-efficient silicon. The company's first-generation platform-on-a-chip product, ARKA-GKT1, is designed to deliver intelligent, energy-efficient computing for smart utilities, industrial IoT, and connected infrastructure, and has successfully reached silicon power-on and bring-up. Azimuth AI provides a full-stack semiconductor capability including ASIC design, semiconductor assembly, engineering, prototyping, and board and module manufacturing. The company targets edge AI acceleration with analog and mixed-signal ICs that push the boundaries of edge computing efficiency, enabling situational analysis and machine learning at the edge with minimal power consumption. Azimuth AI differentiates itself through its focus on sustainable edge computing, building ASICs specifically optimized for the power and thermal constraints of edge deployments rather than repurposing data center architectures. The company serves applications in smart utilities, industrial IoT, and connected infrastructure where energy-efficient AI inference at the edge is critical. Founded in 2021 and headquartered in Folsom, California, Azimuth AI has raised $11.5 million in a Series A round backed by Aum Ventures, Cyient, Moneta Ventures, and Jetha Global.
