Flow Computing

Flow Computing is a pioneering startup based in Helsinki, Finland enabling the next generation of energy efficient CPU performance for the most demanding applications, such as locally-hosted AI and general-purpose parallel computing. Capable of being integrated into any current or pending design architecture or process geometry, Flow provides a revolutionary acceleration that is usable in standard products to enable “CPU 2.0”-levels of throughput and eliminating the need for expensive GPU acceleration of CPU instructions.

This revolutionary performance leap is achieved using the company’s patented Parallel Processing Unit (PPU) licensable architecture and compiler ecosystem - enabling developers to choose their preferred ratio of raw performance for new apps vs. maintaining legacy code and application compatibility when required. Flow's groundbreaking architecture also turbocharges embedded systems and data centers, for uses such as edge and cloud computing, AI clouds, multimedia codecs across 5G/6G, autonomous vehicle systems, military-grade computing and more.

Participants in Flow’s pre-seed round in addition to Sarsia include Butterfly Ventures (lead VC - Finland), FOV Ventures (Finland/UK), Stephen Industries (Finland), and Superhero Capital (Finland). Flow Computer has been part of VTT LaunchPad, a science-based spin-off incubator in Finland, and was founded by Timo Valtonen (CEO), Dr. Martti Forsell (CTO) and Jussi Roivainen.
