Partnering with VectorWare

For years, the CPU was the center of how software ran. But today’s most advanced applications (AI models, simulations, and interactive visual tools) are powered by GPUs. The GPU has become the center of modern computing.

This shift from CPU to GPU is a platform change that extends beyond performance, just like the move from desktop to mobile or from on-prem servers to the cloud. And as with any platform shift, a new generation of software infrastructure gets built. 

Enter VectorWare. 

Led by Christian Legnitto, who I worked with at Mozilla and who went on to launch the first native version of Facebook on mobile, VectorWare is building the foundational tools to help developers build directly for GPUs using the languages and open-source libraries they already know. 

Instead of dealing with fragmented, legacy systems, developers can write GPU code in Rust and have it work across all GPUs. By starting here, VectorWare will enable support for other languages like Python and TypeScript over time, so developers can work in the environments they already know. It’s fast, portable, and makes GPU development feel like modern software development again. 

At TheGP, we invest in builders who spot these leverage points early. Christian and the team are building the platform that will power the next wave of software that runs natively on the GPU. We’re proud to be early partners to VectorWare as they help shape the future of how modern software gets built.
