Strategic Investors include DRW and Jump Trading Group to Support Ongoing Expansion of Cutting-Edge GPU Market Intelligence and Benchmarking Tools

Fundraising Round Underscores Growing Enterprise Demand for Compute and Data Services as an Emerging Asset Class

Announces the Official Launch of SiliconNavigator, SiliconMark, Silicon PriceIQ, and SiliconCarbon, Setting New Standards in Compute Market Transparency and Sustainability

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Silicon Data, a leader in advancing data transparency and efficiency in the compute industry, today announced the successful closing of a $4.7 million seed funding round, co-led by DRW and Jump Trading Group with participation from other strategic investors. The funding round will accelerate Silicon Data’s mission of enhancing compute market intelligence, sustainability, and performance benchmarking in what is emerging as a key asset class across data and financial services. Alongside this milestone, Silicon Data is expanding its product suite with the official launch of four cutting-edge tools:

  • SiliconNavigatorTM – A GPU pricing and market intelligence platform.
  • SiliconMarkTM – A benchmarking solution that measures GPU performance degradation over time.
  • Silicon PriceIQTM – An AI-powered tool for GPU pricing optimization and predictive analytics.
  • SiliconCarbonTM – A real-time carbon footprint calculator for compute workflows.

Since its initial launch out of stealth, Silicon Data has directed hundreds of users to its product site and aggregated 3.5 million points of market data across a wide selection of 50 GPU chipsets and platforms – further demonstrating the growing demand for transparency and market intelligence services as the compute industry seeks to scale its capabilities.

“The demand for compute continues to accelerate as this once-in-a-generation technology grows. With the backing of DRW, Jump Trading Group, and our other investors, we are scaling our vision for a more transparent and efficient compute market,” said Carmen Li, CEO of Silicon Data. “Silicon Data’s data aggregating capabilities would also make the development of compute market indices – which would track the price performance of a basket of GPU platforms in a similar fashion to a traditional financially settled commodity index – a very real possibility, further emphasizing how our product suite would secure widespread and democratic access to the buying and selling of compute products for all our customers. With SiliconNavigator, SiliconMark, Silicon PriceIQ, and SiliconCarbon, we are empowering organizations by providing the critical data needed to navigate GPU pricing, sustainability, and asset performance benchmarking with precision.”

“Silicon Data is at the leading edge of providing transparency into compute markets,” said Donald Wilson, Founder and CEO at global trading firm DRW. “I believe we’re in the early days of compute becoming the world’s largest commodity, and market participants will need the infrastructure and risk management tools to efficiently navigate volatility and make informed decisions in this rapidly changing environment. Carmen and her team have a profound understanding of these dynamics, and we’re excited to support what they are building.”

Joby Aviation, a company developing electric air taxis for commercial passenger service, announced the successful closing of the first $250 million tranche of a previously announced strategic investment from Toyota Motor Corporation. The funding marks a significant milestone in strengthening the long-term collaboration between the two companies and supports their shared vision for the future of air mobility. The investment is aimed at supporting certification and commercial production of Joby’s electric air taxi. This underscores the mutual commitment to deepening integration and delivering next generation travel to global markets. This investment also puts the two companies a step closer toward a strategic manufacturing alliance.

In a statement JoeBen Bevirt, founder and CEO of Joby said, “We’re already seeing the benefit of working with Toyota in streamlining manufacturing processes and optimizing design.” “This is an important next step in our alliance with Toyota to scale the promise of electric flight. With this capital and Toyota’s legendary production expertise, we’re enhancing our ability to scale cutting-edge design and manufacturing to meet the demands of our partners and customers.”

Joby Aviation is a California-based transportation company developing an all-electric, vertical take-off and landing air taxi which it intends to operate as part of a fast, quiet, and convenient service in cities around the world. Powered by six electric motors, their aircraft takes off and lands vertically, giving it the flexibility to serve almost any community. Flying with Joby might feel more like getting into an SUV than boarding a plane. The company's aerial ridesharing service will combine the ease of conventional ridesharing with the power of flight. A green alternative to driving that's bookable at the touch of an app. With more than 30,000 miles flown on full-scale prototype aircraft, their aircraft is designed to meet the uncompromising safety standards set by the FAA and other global aviation regulators. Joby Aviation is now engaged in a multi-year testing program with the FAA to certify their vehicle for commercial operations, and have completed the first three of five stages.
