01 What we do
Substrate develops advanced lithography that accelerates electrons through magnetic fields to create semiconductor features at extreme precision — pushing Moore's Law forward. We are building and operating a vertically-integrated foundry on American soil, offering foundry services rather than selling tools.
02 Trajectory
Founded to return the United States to dominance in semiconductor fabrication.
Out of stealth. $100M raised at a ~$1B valuation; pivot to building and operating U.S. fabs.
Targeting initial large-scale chip production.
$10,000 per wafer — against a projected industry cost of $100,000.
