Quadric, a Burlingame, CA‑based company that leverages an inference engine that empowers on‑device AI chips, raised $30 M in Series C funding.
The round was led by ACCELERATE Fund, managed by BEENEXT Capital Management, with participation from Uncork Capital, Pear VC, Volta, Gentree, Wanxiang America, Pivotal, and Silicon Catalyst Ventures.
The company intends to use the funds to expand operations and its development efforts.
Quadric offers an inference engine inside on‑device AI chips. Used by chip designers, its General Purpose NPU (GPNPU) processor IP and end‑to‑end toolchain enable customers to go from engagement to production‑ready AI silicon in under six months. Its processor IP, Chimera, scales to 864 TOPS, with automotive‑grade options.
The team operates across North America, Asia, and Europe.
Coincident with the funding, the company announced two new license wins: an edge‑server LLM silicon provider in Asia (name withheld pending product announcement), and Tier IV of Japan, a provider in self‑driving software.
