We are proud to announce @keplercompute. Our mission is unlock computing for everyone by pushing memory and logic to the limits of physics.

Our team co-led one of the industry's first 3D chip-stacking technologies, has led and scaled seven generations of DRAM and multiple logic designs into billions of chips. We built the world's first commercial physical synthesis tool and techniques at the heart of the logic design industry and solved long standing challenges in ferroelectrics, invented beyond CMOS logic devices. We would love to work with you to reinvent chip manufacturing here in America.

Memory is the biggest binding constraint on AI compute. Today we come out of stealth after a 7 year bet on this problem - introducing a new frontier of AI memories - that approach the bandwidth per watt of SRAM and go up to 10x beyond the capacity of SRAM and HBM.

We raised $468m, built a dedicated fab and our AI memories sample this year and ramp to production next year. We are allocated for 2027 and will be scaling in America by 2028.

We are open for business get in touch to work together. We are also growing the group of Keplerians and would love to work with you.

Today we’re announcing SPC Fund IV: $575M to help founders find their life’s work.

A decade of guiding founders through -1 to 0 brings @SPC to $2B in AUM and, more importantly, a 1200 member community of the world’s most talented technologists. We strongly believe that:

→ The person comes before the idea. At -1, generational founders are often busy reading, prototyping, discarding, and earning the right to their own conviction.
→ Ambition is social. The people you surround yourself with in the early days play a big part in inflecting your ambition.
→ Patience compounds. It is better to work on something you have deep conviction in rather than simply sprint at the first idea.

The quiet months we protect at the beginning have produced three funds in the top 10% of their vintages, and companies like @baseten, @GammaApp, @render, @GoodfireAI, @LumaLabsAI, and @profound. We are proud to have worked with all these founders in their -1 phase and beyond.

While we defined -1 to 0, we're no longer bound by it. Fund IV allows us to partner with companies well beyond launch.

We're doing this now because we've never seen a wider gap between what's possible and what's being attempted. Intelligence is abundant. The cost of trying ideas keeps falling, and problems that seemed insurmountable a few years ago are quickly becoming solvable.

To our members, to the founders who trusted us before anyone else did, and to the LPs who had conviction in our own -1 journey: thank you. This milestone belongs to you as much as to us.

To the builders looking to find your life’s work: let’s get started.
