Vinci announces $46M in total funding. Vinci, a Palo Alto, CA-based developer of Physics-Driven AI for hardware design and simulation, emerged from stealth with $46M in total funding. Its Series A round was led by Xora Innovation while its Seed round was led by Eclipse. Founded by Hardik Kabaria and by Sarah Osentoski, Vinci has launched a physics-driven AI system that operates like a team of hardware engineers, running thousands of verified simulations in hours. Vinci's agentic system combines proven physics methods with an AI model to deliver fast simulations. The system is already deployed, powering next-generation design programs at three leading semiconductor manufacturers. Pre-trained and production-ready, it operates securely behind customer firewalls, requires no training on proprietary data and delivers verified results immediately upon deployment.

Startup Vinci said on Tuesday it has raised $36 million to finance its business of building software that can speed chip and other hardware design by significantly accelerating the simulation of such...
