If you’ve ever worked in chip design, you know it’s not for the faint of heart. The complexity is mind-blowing, the stakes are high, and the pace? Slower than it should be. Despite the breakthroughs we’ve made as an industry, so much of silicon design still depends on outdated workflows and brittle tooling. We’ve watched incredible engineers spend months wrestling with code, chasing bugs, and running verification loops that feel more like marathons than sprints.
Eventually, we had to ask: why are we still doing it this way?
That question kept coming up across our careers — whether it was building AI systems at Tesla, designing chips at Intel and ARM, or leading silicon teams at Microsoft. Across the board, we saw the same issue: the tools weren’t evolving fast enough to keep up with the demands of modern silicon. They were rigid, manual, and left too much on the shoulders of already overextended teams.
It wasn’t a talent problem. It was an infrastructure problem.
So we decided to build something different. That’s how MooresLabAI came to life.
Not as a side project or a better script, but as a reimagining of how silicon development should work. With the rapid advances in agentic AI, we set out to develop tools that support engineers by understanding their workflows, reducing repetitive overhead, and helping them move faster with fewer blind spots. The goal isn’t to take humans out of the loop — it’s to make that loop a lot more efficient, flexible, and rewarding.
We started with verification, because honestly, it’s where the pain is most acute. Our first product, VerifAgentTM, automates UVM-based verification by generating testbenches, scoreboards, assertions, and coverage reports in a fraction of the time it typically takes. And because it integrates with the tools teams already use, adoption doesn’t require an overhaul.
What we’ve seen so far in our early customer implementations has been encouraging: months-long cycles shrinking to minutes, bugs caught earlier, teams working with more clarity and less chaos. That’s what we’re here to enable.
We named the company after Gordon Moore, not just out of respect, but because we still believe in his spirit of progress. Moore’s Law was always about more than just transistor counts; it was a mindset. Push forward. Move faster. Break new ground.
And that’s our aim, too. Not just to speed up what’s already being done, but to rethink the entire stack — from architecture to RTL, layout to firmware — using intelligent, modular AI systems that integrate into how teams work today.
This is just the beginning. We're grateful to have the support of partners like Clutch VC, Google for Startups, Nvidia Inception, and Microsoft for Startups, and to be working with teams in AI, mobile, and automotive who are already seeing the impact.
If you’ve ever thought chip design could be smarter, more intuitive, or just less of a grind, you’re not alone. That’s what brought us together. And it’s what keeps us building.
We have big plans and we're excited to be on this journey. Thanks for following along.
