San Jose, California edge-AI chip maker founded 2018 by Krishna Rangasayee; its Modalix MLSoC runs ML inference under 10 watts, backed by $355 million raised.
SiMa Technologies Inc., operating as SiMa.ai, was founded in 2018 by chief executive Krishna Rangasayee and is headquartered in San Jose, California. The company designs semiconductors and software for machine learning inference at the edge, in devices it describes as needing to sense, move, and act in the physical world without relying on cloud connectivity.
Its Modalix MLSoC family is a machine learning system-on-chip rated up to 50 TOPS within a power envelope under 10 watts, built to run complete inference pipelines, from sensor input to output, on a single chip. The Modalix DevKit provides evaluation hardware for pre-production testing, while the Palette SDK and its Palette Neat development environment handle model compilation and deployment across the hardware. Target applications include industrial robotics, drones, automotive systems, smart-vision cameras, healthcare devices, and government and defense platforms.
SiMa.ai has raised $355 million to date, including an $85 million round closed in August 2025 led by Maverick Capital. The company operates offices in the United States, Germany, India, Israel, Japan, South Korea, Poland, and Taiwan.
