We wrapped up the year with the Silimate team at a KBBQ dinner to celebrate hitting revenue and shipping goals!

Looking back, it’s incredible to see what we accomplished in 2025:

• >20× ARR growth across 10+ customers, from startups to Fortune 500s

• Profitability

• Moved into an amazing private office in downtown Mountain View

• Scaled from 3 → 6 full-time team members (lean and mean!)

  • Hires turned down/left jobs from NVIDIA + Apple to join us

• Iterated our first product, Preqorsor, to a stable v1.0: fast PPA (power/performance/area) predictions + optimization

  • Strong recurring usage across customers

  • Users calling it indispensable to their workflow

  • Power users even built their own apps on top of it

  • v2.0 arriving soon with RTL-level dynamic power prediction + optimization

  • Patent granted on the underlying technology

• Released our second product, SMDB: an AI debugger/RCA (root cause analysis) tool for chip designers

  • Already helping resolve numerous real bugs

  • More work ahead to achieve superhuman level 

Building this company has been the most fulfilling thing I’ve done in my life… by far.

Thank you to all of our customers, partners, and investors for making this possible.

Here’s to an amazing 2026!
