Lightmatter is a photonic computer company redefining what computers and human beings are capable of by building the engines that will power discoveries and drive progress in a sustainable way. With modern human progress relying heavily on computers, the world has hit a dead end with traditional transistors and the prospect of constantly building data centers is an environmental nightmare. Lightmatter has created a solution in photonic computing: using photons instead of electrons to take advantage of their higher bandwidth.

Our company has combined electronics, photonics and new algorithms to create a next generation computing platform for artificial intelligence. Lightmatter’s new processor is faster, more efficient and cooler than anything created before.

Founded and headquartered in Boston, MA, Lightmatter also has an office in the California Bay Area to be close to the top tech talent. Lighmatter has grown to more than 80 employees and has raised over $100 million in funding from backers like Google Ventures, Matrix Partners, Spark Capital, and Viking Global.
