Chiplytics, a Seattle-based microelectronics verification startup, has secured $4.5 million in newly announced funding, comprising $2.5 million in seed financing and a $2 million U.S. Air Force Tactical Funding Increase (TACFI) award. The private financing was led by Scout Ventures and Waypoint Ventures, with participation from Industrious Ventures, Interwoven Ventures, Seattle Alliance of Angels, and Cornell University’s Red Bear Angels.
Chiplytics is led by co-founder and CEO Steven Dourmashkin and co-founder and president Stephen DiBartolomeo. The company provides quality assurance and inspection technology for semiconductor chips and other electronic components, with a focus on identifying counterfeit, substituted and suspect parts before they enter critical systems.
Its platform combines automated visual inspection with Power Spectrum Analysis technology developed at Sandia National Laboratories, along with cloud-based reporting and AS6171-aligned inspection methods. Chiplytics also supports component sourcing and procurement through a network of suppliers.
The company has opened an inspection laboratory in Bellport, New York, inside QK Special Services’ distribution center. The new funding will support the lab buildout and additional hiring across testing and engineering roles.
