Discovered Materials

Discovered Materials (legally matforge inc) is a Y Combinator-backed (Spring 2026) startup based in San Francisco building AI scientists for the semiconductor industry. The company uses swarms of AI agents to run the full materials-discovery pipeline - generating candidate materials, synthesizing them, and testing them in physical laboratories - to find novel materials for datacenters and fabrication facilities. Their stated goal is to compress a process that traditionally takes 10+ years of lab work into months, targeting 10x-better alternatives for applications such as nanoscale interconnects. Founded by Akash Ramdas (Stanford materials-science PhD/postdoc) and Advaith Sridhar (Carnegie Mellon AI, formerly Luma Labs and Persona AI). At the time of profiling the company exposes no public API, developer portal, or documentation; this entry is an enrichment lead maintained in the API Evangelist network.

Discovered Materials is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Artificial Intelligence, Materials Science, Semiconductors, and Deep Tech.
