# Gimlet Labs, Inc.

> Gimlet Labs is a San Francisco applied research company building the first multi-silicon inference cloud - software that runs AI workloads simultaneously across CPUs, GPUs, and specialized accelerators. Founded by ex-Google and ex-NVIDIA engineers behind the Pixie observability project, Gimlet ships Gimlet Cloud (serverless agent inference) and kforge (autonomous kernel generation from PyTorch). The company exited stealth in October 2025 with eight-figure revenue and raised an $80M Series A led by Menlo Ventures in March 2026.

- **Notable:** Raised $80M Series A in March 2026, led by Menlo Ventures, Emerged from stealth in October 2025 with eight-figure revenue, Total funding of $92M across seed and Series A

## Products & services

- **Gimlet Cloud** — Serverless inference platform for AI agents - runs everything from single agents to complex multi-agent systems with custom logic and external data, with scheduling, scaling and optimization handled automatically.
- **kforge** — Tool that autonomously generates optimized low-level kernels directly from PyTorch across CUDA, ROCm and Metal backends - no manual kernel writing required.
- **Multi-Silicon Inference Cloud** — Software layer that splits an AI workload across diverse hardware simultaneously - CPUs, AI-tuned GPUs, and high-memory systems - claimed to deliver 3x-10x speedups at the same cost and power.

## Achievements

- Raised $80M Series A in March 2026, led by Menlo Ventures
- Emerged from stealth in October 2025 with eight-figure revenue
- Total funding of $92M across seed and Series A
- Claimed 3x-10x inference speedups at constant cost and power
- Founding team previously built Pixie, acquired by New Relic

## Latest updates

- **2026-03** — Closed $80M Series A led by Menlo Ventures; total raised reaches $92M.
- **2026-03** — Announced partnership with d-Matrix to deliver 10x speedups on frontier AI workloads.
- **2025-10** — Emerged from stealth with $12M seed and eight-figure revenue, publicly launching Gimlet Cloud and kforge.
