Nvidia Competitor Etched Hits $5B Valuation on $1B in AI Chip Sales
Etched, the AI inference chip startup, confirmed a $5 billion post-money valuation on June 30 following a $500 million round led by Stripes, bringing total funding to $800 million since its 2022 founding. The company says it has already secured $1 billion in contract orders for its 'frontier inference clusters' after TSMC successfully manufactured its custom chips earlier in 2026, with backers including Jane Street, Two Sigma, Andrej Karpathy, Geoffrey Hinton, Fei-Fei Li, Stanley Druckenmiller and Peter Thiel.
