Sagence AI, founded in 2018 as Analog Inference and led by Vishal Sarin, builds inference-focused hardware and system software using deep sub-threshold analog in-memory compute inside multi-level non-volatile memory. Its approach collocates computation and storage, uses software to pre-allocate and route models at compile time, and targets power-efficient, spatially compact acceleration across data-center and edge deployments.
The company operates from Santa Clara, California, serves enterprise customers with combined hardware and software offerings, and has raised approximately fifty-eight million dollars from investors including Khosla Ventures, TDK Ventures, and Prosperity7. It emerged from stealth in November 2024, outlined analog inference accelerator platforms and cross-framework software support, and continues to advance its analog architecture toward production systems.
