Inference is the engine that powers AI, and Groq was built from the silicon up to deliver the worlds fastest inference at scale. We pioneered the LPU—the first processor designed specifically for AI inference—and are transforming that innovation into a global cloud platform powering production AI workloads.
With the capital, infrastructure, and team to execute, were uniquely positioned to define the next era of AI infrastructure. The opportunity is massive, and its still wide open. Now lets go build it!

Founded in 2008, BootstrapLabs, an Ares company, is a leading Venture Capital firm based in Silicon Valley and focused on Applied Artificial Intelligence. BootstrapLabs was one of the first VC firms to build an AI-first investment strategy and seeks to invest in visionary founders who solve some of today’s most important and valuable opportunities by applying Artificial Intelligence.
BootstrapLabs is often the first institutional money and acts as a lead investor in the early stages, with follow-on capital at the growth stages.
Through our Venture Studios and Venture Capital funds, we are investing in Artificial Intelligence applied to The Future of Work (FoW)/Productivity, Mobility, Health, Financial Infrastructure, Digital Infrastructure, Energy/Climate, and AI-enabling technologies.
As entrepreneurs ourselves, we know it takes an experienced team amplified by a nurturing community to build successful companies, so we stand by our founders in good times and bad times, because the road to success is paved with setbacks, challenges, and lessons learned from past failures – and building something big is hard.
Ultimately we believe technology should always be used to create a positive impact on society, and that founders should always place fellow humans at the heart of their vision.

- received a boarding pass from an airline,
