Ricursive Intelligence is building AI that designs chips; founders to speak at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026
Ricursive Intelligence, founded by Anna Goldie and Azalia Mirhoseini, is developing AI systems to automate and accelerate chip design with the aim of cutting multi-year design cycles to weeks; the startup, launched in late 2025, raised $335 million (including a $300 million Series A) at a $4 billion valuation and counts Nvidia among investors. Goldie and Mirhoseini — who helped build Google’s AlphaChip and worked at Anthropic and DeepMind — will discuss the approach and its implications on the Disrupt 2026 stage.
