Mythic was founded in 2012 by University of Michigan researchers Mike Henry and Dave Fick, who set out to answer a simple question: what if a chip worked the way the human brain does? That first-principles thinking became analog compute-in-memory—an architecture that processes data where it lives instead of shuttling it back and forth across power-hungry pathways. Today, that architecture is proving its value. Mythic is the only analog compute-in-memory platform delivering 100x efficiency gains for the innovators who need AI inference at scale without the unsustainable energy cost, with technology proven across data center, automotive, robotics, and defense applications. Backed by an oversubscribed $125M raise from investors including Honda, Lockheed Martin, SoftBank, and DCVC, we're scaling toward a 1,024-chiplet architecture built for the largest LLM workloads in the data center—taking on the GPU status quo directly. We don't sell what's coming. We sell proven technology that works today, built on a fundamentally different approach to computing that we’ve been refining for over a decade. Intelligence is inevitable. How we get there is a choice. And Mythic is proving that power and efficiency were never a tradeoff to begin with.
