Plug and Play Tech Center

We raised $15m to build the ASICs-first inference cloud. We're betting big on alternatives to GPUs, and the result is that we are already 5-8x faster on most models. Read more about General Compute on Tech Crunch! @FPuklowski @fastinference techcrunch.com/2026/05/28/has…

Congrats, @GoodisonJason & the General Compute team on the $15M seed round! Inference infrastructure is becoming an important layer in AI as agents & real-time workloads continue to scale. Excited to see the team pushing faster, more efficient inference forward. @fastinference

Some of the world’s biggest consumer brands are still actively looking to work with startups. @MarsGlobal shares how the company uses Plug and Play to discover new technologies, learn alongside other corporates, and revisit startups years later when the fit is right. #PNP

Final Home Match Before the Break: 🆚 @fcdallas Presented by @PlugandPlayTC

Shout out and huge thank you to Yui Koda and the @PlugandPlayTC team for hosting our Co-Founder Robert Harary and the Raisi team yesterday to speak on what we’re seeing firsthand across today’s private markets. Great room of founders, fund managers, and investors. 🚀 🎤 Topic: “The State of the U.S. Private Market in 2026” What Matters to Venture Investors and How Capital Is Actually Moving For decades, founders have raised capital through spreadsheets, fragmented networks, social equity, and manual effort. Raisi captures real-time behavioral data from companies actively raising and investors actively evaluating opportunities every single day. This gives us a live view into: • What venture investors across the U.S. are actually prioritizing • How different investor types are behaving in today’s market • Where capital activity is clustering geographically • Which signals predict whether a round gains momentum or stalls The result is a real-time map of how the private market is actually functioning in 2026. Excited for more conversations ahead with founders, fund managers, and investors building through this next cycle. 📈 #SF #startup #fundraising #vc #plugnplay #founder
