Company

ChipStack is an AI-driven semiconductor verification company headquartered in Campbell, California.

Founded in 2023, ChipStack delivers agentic AI products that enable RTL designers and design verification engineers to quickly perform verification tasks traditionally requiring specialized expertise, dramatically reducing time and shifting verification earlier in the design cycle while empowering verification engineers with unprecedented design insight.

ChipStack's five-agent suite reduces unit verification time from weeks to days. The suite begins by creating a "design intent" mental model that transforms the verification process through deeper design understanding. The agents then provide guided test plan creation, automated testbench generation and updates, verification tool execution, and intelligent debug assistance across formal verification, unit simulation, UVM, and functional coverage. Engineers can control the process using intuitive natural language interfaces.

ChipStack products are integrated with industry-standard verification tools.

Our founding team is comprised of experts in chip design, AI, and modern software stacks.
