UK AI chip startup Fractile has raised $220 million in Series B funding. In 2026 April, Fractile was reported to be raising $200 million at $1 billion valuation. Fractile was founded in 2022 by Walter Goodwin. Fractile investors include Accel, Factorial Funds, Founders Fund, Conviction, Gigascale, 01A, Felicis, Buckley Ventures & 8VC. Fractile – Fractile is building chips, systems and software to radically improve the speed and cost of running frontier AI inference. Existing hardware is good for training frontier AI models, but very poorly suited to subsequent inference of the trained model, which is increasingly defining the new era of AI compute workloads. Fractile’s revolutionary approach to fusing computation with memory eliminates this bottleneck, and can scale to allow running the world’s largest models at a global scale. We’ve rearchitected the inference stack from the ground up – silicon to software – to enable generational leaps in capability on the world’s hardest and most important problems.
