matforge: AI scientists to discover semiconductor materials
matforge is a Y Combinator-backed company that aI scientists to discover semiconductor materials. Based in San Francisco, USA, the company participated in the Spring 2026 batch of Y Combinator.
We build AI scientists that discover new materials for the semiconductor industry - specifically datacenters and fabs. Finding novel materials today takes 10+ years of lab work. We aim to compress that timeline to months, using a swarm of AI agents.
Akash completed his PhD at Stanford on material discovery for semiconductors. The materials he discovered for nanoscale interconnects have been adopted into the roadmaps of Intel and TSMC.
matforge was part of Y Combinator's Spring 2026 cohort, has a team of approximately 2 employees, and is actively operating.
