## About

Founded in 2022 and based in London, UK, VyperCore Limited operates as a manufacturing company that develops fabless semiconductors for software applications. Russell Haggar and Ed Nutting (CTO) are the co-founders of the company. In April 2023, VyperCore Limited raised GBP 4 million in seed funding from the British Growth Fund, Foresight WAE Technology, Octopus Ventures, Science Creates Ventures, and Silicon Roundabout.

The company specializes in fabless RISC-V processors for accelerating and protecting compute-intensive applications. The firm's customized RISC-V processor contains hardware memory allocation management technologies, allowing modern software applications to run up to ten times faster. The processor is applicable to all general-purpose programming languages, including C, C++, and Python.

VyperCore focuses on application software, ensuring cross-language source code compatibility to install its accelerator card in data centres without requiring developers to modify their programs. VyperCore's memory management system can prevent up to 70% of all technical security issues, such as buffer overflows and use-after-free, without losing performance, silicon area, or power.

The organization plans to use the April 2023 funding to support the expansion of its business reach in the UK.
