Kara on the record

What they shipped

  • From its YC profile: Kara is building diamond semiconductors. We begin with growing ultra-high purity diamond wafers for advanced hardware. Used in data centers, spacecrafts, RF systems, and quantum hardware, our diamond moves heat up to 5× better than copper, helping critical systems run cooler, faster, and more reliably. Diamond has spent centuries as a symbol. We are turning it into infrastructure. (source)
  • Its own site describes it as: "Kara Labs engineers single-crystal diamond: substrates, engineered layers, membranes, and thermal materials. Specified, grown, and characterized." (source)

Who is behind it

  • Aarin Jhaveri, Founder/CEO: CEO @ Kara. 5th-generation diamond manufacturer. Sold millions worth of natural and lab-grown diamonds across the value chain. UC Berkeley Economics and Data Science. Industrializing diamond for the compute age. (source)
  • Anuveer Chadha, Founder: Founder @ Kara (S26) | Built diamond quantum sensing and computing systems @ LBNL with the Department of War | ML for chemical formulations @ Regeneron | Berkeley Chemical Engineering Dropout (source)
