Arcium Joins NVIDIA Inception Program, Boosts Private AI

Arcium, an encrypted supercomputer, has been accepted into the NVIDIA Inception Program, a significant milestone in its mission to become the standard for privacy-preserving machine learning and artificial intelligence. This program is designed to help startups accelerate technical innovation and business growth by providing access to industry-leading tools and resources.

Arcium's entry into the Inception Program follows its acquisition of Inpher, a renowned provider of confidential computing and Private AI. Inpher, which has been operating for over a decade, received substantial funding from industry giants such as JP Morgan and Amazon. Arcium acquired Inpher's core technology and over 30 patents to bolster its Private AI infrastructure.

As AI adoption continues to grow across various industries, the need for Private AI tooling becomes increasingly important. These tools are essential for protecting intellectual property, mitigating data breach risks, and ensuring compliance with privacy regulations. Arcium's encrypted supercomputer enables the secure processing of information in a fully encrypted state, addressing these critical needs.

Yannik Schrade, Co-Founder and CEO of Arcium, highlighted the importance of privacy in AI applications. He noted that institutions leveraging AI for trading require privacy to prevent the exposure of their strategies, healthcare organizations need encryption to safeguard sensitive patient information, and AI systems need confidentiality to protect proprietary algorithms and user data. With NVIDIA's support, Arcium is positioned to become the most advanced tech stack supporting Private AI applications.

Schrade further emphasized that a new paradigm in computing is emerging, and with NVIDIA's Inception Program, Arcium is at the forefront of making private AI a reality. This partnership will enhance Arcium's technology stack ahead of its mainnet launch, accelerating its mission to bring Private AI to all industries and build a world where data security concerns no longer hinder progress.

Arcium, founded in 2022, provides developers, applications, and entire industries with a trustless, verifiable, and efficient framework to run encrypted computations. The company is backed by investors such as Greenfield Capital, Coinbase Ventures, Heartcore Capital, Longhash VC, L2 Iterative Ventures, and Anagram. Arcium's goal is to enable the entire internet to run on encryption, ensuring data can be used to its full extent in an entirely encrypted state.
