The Irvine, California-based company plans to trade under the ticker symbol “SYTN” on the Nasdaq Global Market. The size of the offering has not been disclosed.
Syntiant was founded in 2017 by four entrepreneurs. It builds low-power AI processors designed to run machine-learning models directly on devices, without relying on cloud computing.
The company describes its focus as “physical AI” — a term it uses to mean on-device sensing and neural processing that lets devices perceive and respond to real-world inputs locally.
Its chips have been used in earbuds, wearables, industrial equipment, and automobiles.
Backers and Investors
Syntiant has backing from Intel Capital, the venture investment arm of Intel. Microsoft Global Finance and Knowles Corp are also investors, according to the company’s regulatory filing.
In December 2024, Syntiant acquired the consumer MEMS microphone business from Knowles Corp. That unit makes microphones for smartphones, earbuds, and other consumer devices.
The company offers what it calls a full-stack, ultra-low-power platform. This combines neural decision processors, sensing products, and AI models that let customers deploy features on-device while using the cloud selectively.
Financials
For the first quarter of 2026, Syntiant reported a net loss of $20.9 million on revenue of $64.5 million.
That compares to a net loss of $14.1 million on revenue of $66.6 million in the same period a year earlier. Revenue dipped slightly while losses widened year-over-year.
Citigroup, BofA Securities, UBS Investment Bank, and Needham & Company are among the underwriters for the offering. Stifel, Cantor, KeyBanc Capital Markets, Craig-Hallum, Rosenblatt, Roth Capital Partners, and Wolfe | Nomura Alliance are also listed.
IPO Market Context
The Syntiant IPO is part of a broader wave of AI-related listings in the US this year.
J.P. Morgan has estimated that more than $260 billion in equity issuance is expected to arrive in 2026, as companies look to take advantage of growing investor confidence.
Syntiant’s filing comes as semiconductor and AI companies continue to attract attention from public market investors.
The company has not yet set a price range or date for its shares to begin trading.
