Cerebras Systems
Cerebras Systems is a team of pioneering computer architects, computer scientists, deep learning researchers, functional business experts and engineers of all types. We have come together to build a new class of computer to accelerate artificial intelligence work by three orders of magnitude beyond the current state of the art. The CS-2 is the fastest AI computer in existence. It contains a collection of industry firsts, including the Cerebras Wafer Scale Engine (WSE-2). The WSE-2 is the largest chip ever built. It contains 2.6 trillion transistors and covers more than 46,225 square millimeters of silicon. The largest graphics processor on the market has 54 billion transistors and covers 815 square millimeters. In artificial intelligence work, large chips process information more quickly producing answers in less time. As a result, neural networks that in the past took months to train, can now train in minutes on the Cerebras CS-2 powered by the WSE-2. Join us: https://cerebras.net/careers/

Steve Vassallo
General Partner, Foundation Capital
Steve invests at the intersection of design, technology, and business: at the sweet spot where a product meets a real user need, is built atop a unique insight or technological breakthrough, and has the potential to be a massive business. He is drawn to founders with two predilections: First, having spent the initial five years of his career designing products at IDEO, Steve gravitates towards product-first founders, who understand how to build technology that delights and improves the lives of its users. Second, he is drawn to founders who want to solve consequential problems. Steve’s investments include Anomalo, Bolt Threads, Brave, Cerebras Systems, Control4 [CTRL], Dust Labs, ForUsAll, Framer, KeeperTax, Loft Orbital, Mantle, Mode, Northstar, OAK Networks, Outerbounds, Pareto Labs, Pocket (acquired by Mozilla), Portals, PrivateCore (acquired by Facebook), Simple Habit, Stripe, Solana [SOL], Sunrun [RUN], Teleport, and Threads.
