Simulation Theory Joins Alliance for SoCal Venture Pipeline Program
SAN DIEGO, CA - June 22, 2026
Simulation Theory (Sim Theory), a deep tech software company building high-performance solutions for AI workloads, announced that it has been admitted into the Alliance for SoCal Innovation’s SoCal Venture Pipeline (SVP) program. The program connects vetted Southern California startups with institutional venture investors, helping founders bridge the critical early-stage funding gap.
The SoCal Venture Pipeline is a selective matching program that supports high-potential companies preparing to raise their first institutional Seed or Series A round, increasing their visibility and access to qualified venture capital firms. Participation in the program provides Simulation Theory with structured support, investor introductions, and a strong signal to the market as it scales its patent-pending Thunder SDK, which helps enterprises run AI and machine learning workloads more efficiently on existing CPU and GPU infrastructure.
“We’re excited to be part of the SoCal Venture Pipeline and the broader Alliance for SoCal Innovation community,” said Anthony Castoro, CEO and Co-Founder of Simulation Theory. “This program is a powerful catalyst for deep tech founders in Southern California, and it will help us build relationships with investors who understand the importance of closing the compute gap for AI.”
About Simulation Theory
Simulation Theory (Sim Theory) is a deep tech software company developing high-performance solutions to help enterprises close the growing gap between demand for computing power and available CPU and GPU capacity. Its patent-pending Thunder SDK enables applications to scale horizontally across all available CPU cores with minimal overhead, dramatically increasing the amount of work that can be done on existing CPUs while keeping GPUs continuously supplied with data so they can perform more work. By extracting more parallelism from compute-intensive tasks, without requiring a full rewrite of existing code, the Thunder SDK helps organizations run faster, more efficient pipelines in cloud, data center, and edge environments.
