Revolutionizing System-on-Chip Designs: Baya Secures $36M+ in Series B Funding

Baya Systems, a trailblazer in system IP technology, has announced a remarkable milestone by raising over $36 million in a Series B funding round. Spearheaded by Maverick Silicon, the round also saw strategic investments from Synopsys and reinvestments from Matrix Partners and Intel Capital, solidifying Baya’s position as a formidable player in the semiconductor industry.

The funds will accelerate the development of Baya’s cutting-edge software-driven system IP portfolio, tailored for system-on-chip (SoC) designs and the emerging chiplet economy. This innovative approach addresses the growing demand for hyper-efficient data movement, compute density, and scalability in the AI-driven era.

Chiplets: A New Era for SoC Evolution

As the semiconductor industry evolves, the limitations of traditional SoC designs have become evident. Enter chiplets—a revolutionary “system-of-chips” concept that enhances performance, minimizes power consumption, and reduces costs. Baya Systems is at the forefront of this shift, delivering modular solutions that adapt to next-generation requirements in AI, automotive, and data center infrastructures.

One of the company’s standout innovations is its compliance with emerging standards like Ultra Accelerator Link (UALink™), a die-to-die interconnect technology that facilitates accelerated AI scaling.

Key Solutions Driving Transformation

Baya’s proprietary WeaverPro™ software and WeaveIP™ system IP portfolio are pivotal in overcoming traditional semiconductor bottlenecks. WeaverPro™ enables continuous refinement of architecture and micro-architecture development, supported by simulation and workload analysis for superior performance. Meanwhile, WeaveIP™ focuses on maximizing throughput, minimizing latency, and optimizing power usage, ensuring robust and scalable solutions for complex designs.

“Generative AI and multimodal compute have shifted the challenge from compute engines to data movement and connectivity,” said Andrew Homan, Managing Director at Maverick Silicon. “Baya Systems is uniquely positioned to address this critical gap with its innovative solutions.”

A High-Performance Team and Vision for the Future

Led by a team of seasoned professionals from industry giants like Apple, AMD, Arm, Intel, and Qualcomm, Baya Systems is poised for exponential growth. With Jim Keller, a legendary microprocessor architect, serving as Chairman of the Board, the company has already delivered its flagship products to market and is rapidly expanding its market presence.

“Traditional approaches to designing complex processors carry significant risks, including high re-engineering costs and scalability challenges,” explained Dr. Sailesh Kumar, founder and CEO of Baya Systems. “Our software-based approach and modular fabric IP are built to streamline the design process and deliver high-performance solutions that are correct by construction.”

Global Partnerships and Growing Traction

Baya Systems is already gaining traction with key industry players. Early customers, including Tenstorrent—a company leveraging Baya’s technology for its AI and RISC-V chiplet solutions—demonstrate the global reach and impact of Baya’s innovations. Additional partnerships are on the horizon, further cementing the company’s role in shaping the future of the semiconductor industry.
