Ex-Google and Meta Chip Veterans Raise $100 Million for Majestic Labs to Tackle AI’s Memory Bottleneck

The startup says its patent-pending server packs roughly 1,000x typical memory to shrink multi-rack setups.

Overview

  • Majestic Labs disclosed total funding of $100 million, building on a $71 million Series A led by Bow Wave Capital with investors including Lux Capital.
  • The company claims a single server could replace up to 10 racks by offering about 1,000 times the memory of a standard enterprise system, aiming to cut power, cooling and footprint.
  • Prototypes are planned for select customers in 2027, with pre-order discussions underway and initial focus on hyperscalers and large AI users in sectors like finance and pharma.
  • Co-founders Ofer Shacham, Sha Rabii and Masumi Reynders previously led custom silicon efforts at Google and Meta, including work on TPUs and Meta’s FAST team.
  • Majestic reports fewer than 50 employees split between Tel Aviv and Los Altos, and its technical performance claims have not been independently verified as the company pursues development and growth.
