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.”
