Top Tech Startups in United States in 2027

General Compute is the neocloud for alternative chips. Inference is fragmenting: purpose-built silicon from SambaNova, Cerebras, Positron, d-Matrix, and others already beats GPUs on decode, and we productionize that hardware — we buy the racks, find the data center space, and run it for our customers. Each piece of hardware runs the workload it's actually built for: prefill stays on GPUs, decode moves to the chip built for it, and today that means generating tokens 5–7× faster than existing GPU-based competitors. Our customers are frontier labs, fast-growing AI application companies, and asset-light clouds. We closed a $15M seed round in May 2026, and have since closed a $400M debt facility — $100M funded upfront by Upper90, with the balance available for drawdown — collateralized by our inference chips.

Hirebase is a single, unified system of record for hourly workforce operations. It unites onboarding, configurable training verification to ensure readiness before dispatch, scheduling, geofenced attendance, wage calculation, and exit workflows, replacing scattered, disconnected tools with one system. Hourly, field-based work runs on dynamic shift schedules, compliance checkpoints that verify real-time activity, and a workforce constantly in motion between locations and roles. Traditional HR systems are built for desk-based, salaried employment, forcing operators to bend static software to fit fluid workflows. Hirebase is built differently, from the ground up, for the pace and complexity of field operations. Currently there are 600,000+ strong workforce being managed through the software and we are looking at aggressive expansion globally.

We are solving engineering for construction. Period. We aim to reinvent how buildings are getting designed and ultimately built.
