This raise means more investment in the developer tools you use every day, effcc, Efficient Labs, and Playground. Try compiling your own code and see it map to the Fabric architecture for yourself. Link below. playground.efficient.compute… #DeveloperTools #ElectronE1

The Electron E1 general-purpose processor is one of TIME’s Best Inventions of 2026: up to 100x greater energy efficiency than conventional low-power CPUs. What will you design next? Read the TIME feature time.com/collection/best-inv… #TIMEBestInventions

"Efficient is going after the most critical bottleneck in one of the largest AI markets, energy efficient compute," said Abhishek Malik, Partner, TF Capital.

"At Borderless, we invest through a dual-use lens: does this scale commercially, and is it strategically necessary. Efficient is a clean answer to both. Power is the real constraint on where you can put serious compute, and that constraint sits squarely inside both commercial and national security use cases. Efficient's architecture solves that at the chip level, and the E1 is already shipping in volume. Whoever solves power efficiency gets to decide where compute goes next. That's the bet we're making with Efficient Computer," said Patrick O'Kain, Partner, Borderless Capital.

"The demand for energy efficient compute is now everywhere, and the Efficient team is in the right place to execute quickly and bring a step-change solution to the market." Morgan Schwanke, Mana Ventures. #ElectronE1 #EnergyEfficiency

"Autonomy in the physical world is an energy problem long before it is a software problem." Joshua Phitoussi, Managing Partner, TO Capital, on why TO Capital backed our Series B. #ElectronE1 #EdgeComputing

The same Fabric architecture behind Electron E1 scales up the compute stack, from physical AI systems today to datacenter-class performance, at up to 100x better energy efficiency. #ElectronE1 #EnergyEfficiency

"The transition of intelligence from the cloud to the physical world is increasingly constrained by the energy demands of traditional processor architectures," said Chris Abshire, Principal, Toyota Ventures

"We backed Brandon and the team because they aren't chasing a trend, they've spent years at Carnegie Mellon solving the hard architectural problems that make energy-efficient compute actually work." Zenetta Burger, Giant Ventures. #ElectronE1

"Electron E1 is shipping, customer demand is accelerating, and the same architecture is scaling from physical AI to the datacenter." Greg Reichow, Partner, @EclipseVentures #ElectronE1 #EnergyEfficiency

"Efficient's ability to bring dramatic energy-efficiency gains across the performance spectrum will fundamentally change how computing is built and deployed." Rebecca Kaden, General Partner, USV. #ElectronE1 #EnergyEfficiency

"Efficient has developed a fundamentally different architecture that brings a step function in efficiency to general-purpose computing." Andrew Marks, Partner, TQ Ventures, on why TQ backed our Series B. #ElectronE1 #EdgeComputing

We couldn't be more excited to lead @efficient_hq's $97 million Series B. Plenty of chip startups have a great architecture. Very few get silicon into customers' hands. Efficient taped out four times in under three years and is already shipping the Electron E1 in volume, as customers are building it into products across physical AI, critical infrastructure, space and defense, and wearables. Congratulations to Brandon Lucia, Graham Gobieski, Nathan Beckmann and the whole team!

Significantly more energy efficient compute is the key ingredient to automating the physical world and the intelligence explosion. The @efficient_hq team continues to lead the charge in bringing this to life.

The @efficient_hq team is rethinking general-purpose computing from the ground up to deliver more performance with a fraction of the energy. Today, the team announced a $97M Series B to scale from physical AI to the data center. More on today's news from @Reuters' @StephenNellis: bit.ly/4jAKDxg

"Every customer we meet has a version of their product they cannot build, because the compute power budget makes the new capabilities they want infeasible. Efficient makes it possible." Brandon Lucia, CEO and co-founder. efficient.computer/resources… #ElectronE1 #EnergyEfficiency

AI's energy bill now has a Pittsburgh chip startup aimed at it. Efficient Computer raised $97M at a $650M valuation, TQ Ventures leading, and claims its Fabric design does general-purpose compute on 10 to 100x less energy. $173M raised in total.

We raised $97M in Series B funding round, led by TQ Ventures with Eclipse, Union Square Ventures, Giant Ventures, and seven other investors joining. Total funding to date: $173M. Full story below. efficient.computer/resources… #ElectronE1 #EnergyEfficiency

We're excited to welcome Diwakar Tundlam to Efficient Computer as Runtime Lead Engineer. Diwakar brings deep experience in software and system engineering, with a background spanning networking and battery-powered products. Most recently a Senior Staff Engineer at Tesla on DOJO Engineering, he previously served as Senior Engineering Manager at Apple, working on battery power and health management, and Senior Manager of Software Engineering at Ciena, building dataplane software for a carrier-grade MPLS platform. He also spent four years as a Senior System Software Engineer at NVIDIA. Welcome to the team, Diwakar!
