Astrus

aid: astrus
name: Astrus
description: Astrus is an AI-powered microchip design company automating the physical layout of analog circuits. Founded in
  2022 by Brad Moon (CEO) and Zeyi Wang (CTO) and based in Toronto and Waterloo, Canada, Astrus applies deep reinforcement
  learning — inspired by AlphaGo-style self-play — to generate thousands of manufacturable analog chip layouts in seconds,
  targeting high-speed SERDES interconnects used in data-center GPUs. The platform lets circuit designers submit a schematic
  and receive optimized layouts in minutes rather than the weeks of manual transistor-by-transistor placement that analog
  EDA traditionally requires. Astrus raised $8M in seed funding led by Khosla Ventures with participation from Pradeep Sindhu,
  1517 Fund, Drive Capital and Alumni Ventures. This profile was surfaced as a Khosla Ventures portfolio company; Astrus publishes
  no public developer API, SDK, or documentation surface at this time.

  reason: no-developer-program
  detail: Astrus ships its analog-layout tool only as a private authenticated web app at app.astrus.ai (an S3/CloudFront SPA
    behind an AWS Cognito login whose robots.txt disallows everything); the public site is a five-page Framer marketing site
    whose own sitemap lists only /, /careers, /404, /privacy and /terms, and which never uses the word API.
