Silimate

About

We're building AI-native tools & agent-driven workflows for frontend chip design. Today, Fortune enterprises and chip unicorns license Silimate to hit their PPA targets and functional closure in days instead of months. With Silimate, chip companies tape out better, more market-competitive chips much more quickly.
