SF applied AI lab for autonomous ASIC design verification compressing chip development from 2 years to 2 weeks; YC $500K with 8VC/Elad Gil-backed at $900K revenue 2024 competing with Synopsys and Cadence for AI-powered semiconductor EDA.
Bronco AI is a San Francisco-based applied AI lab — backed by Y Combinator with approximately $500,000 raised from YC, Glasswing Ventures, FJOR, 8VC, Elad Gil, SV Angel, and Contrary Capital — building autonomous AI systems for semiconductor chip design verification, enabling chip development teams to compress ASIC design verification cycles from the current industry norm of 12-24 months to 2 weeks by replacing manual verification engineering work with AI agents that autonomously write testbenches, simulate corner cases, identify design rule violations, and validate logic correctness. Founded in 2022 by David Zhi LuoZhang, Bronco AI generated $900,000 in revenue in 2024 with a 6-person team, serving semiconductor companies and ASIC development teams where verification is the most time-consuming and expensive phase of chip development.
MEP construction tech platform for plumbing and HVAC contractor estimating and procurement; digital takeoffs and vendor quote management for an underserved specialty subcontractor segment.
Pumpco is a construction technology platform providing digital estimating, bid management, and project tracking tools for mechanical, plumbing, and HVAC (MEP) contractors — a segment of the construction market that has historically been underserved by general-purpose construction software built primarily for general contractors. Founded in 2021 and headquartered in Texas, Pumpco targets the specific workflow needs of plumbing and mechanical subcontractors who manage complex material takeoffs, vendor quotes, and equipment scheduling that differ substantially from structural construction workflows.
