About Us
Darwesh Singh
Founder & CEO
Darwesh created an innovative solution for hardware accelerated ray tracing in 2014 after seeing how long it took to render visual effects for movies. He founded Bolt Graphics in 2020 and quickly raised Bolt’s first funding round in 2021, followed by a second round in 2022.
As the demand for cinema quality visual effects increases, existing solutions are no longer able to meet user expectations. Power consumption continues to rise with minimal performance improvements, resulting in increased cost and negative environmental impact.
After 2 years of development, we released our first patent-pending ray tracing IPs, Lightning and Thunder, to customers at CES 2023.
We quickly signed 2 license deals for integration of Lightning and Thunder into customer silicon. Using cutting-edge 4nm process, our customers have partnered with us to deliver systems in early 2025.
Our innovative Ray Tracing technology is being integrated inside popular apps from Epic, Unity, Autodesk, and more, so you can continue using your existing flow and reap the benefits of our technology.

Bolt Graphics: A New Entrant in the Graphics and Ray Tracing Market
Bolt Graphics wants to shake up the graphics space, which hasn't seen new competition in many years.
2x better performance than its leading competitor’s graphics card, the NVIDIA RTX 4090. Bolt Graphics claims this level of performance with its 4x chiplet solution at under 200W, which is impressive consindering the RTX 4090 is rated at 450W TDP.

Bolt Graphics' Ray Tracing
Is this the inflection point everyone has been seeking?
Bolt says its technology closes the performance gap and enables users to create complex 3D graphics and simulations (for games, films, and digital twins) without resorting to the work-arounds and optimizations needed today. The company has developed a suite of silicon IPs to enable customers to make the efficient and high-performance SoCs.

Advancing Computer Graphics with Bolt’s Ray-Tracing Solution
Dr. Peddie: “We have plenty of GPU companies, do we need any more, and if we do, why?”
Singh: “We wanted to take a more unique approach to designing graphics processors…there’s definitely space for another graphics processor vendor in the market. What we’re doing is so unique that we can provide a lot of differentiation for our users and customers. We were founded in 2020 and in 2024 we’ll have production silicon ready to ship to customers.”
