Neil Movva Biography

Neil Movva is the co-founder and CEO of Sail Research, a San Francisco-based company specializing in infrastructure for autonomous artificial intelligence agents. Movva holds a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Science in electrical engineering from Stanford University, with a focus on artificial intelligence. His research at Stanford produced published work on virtual reality display compression and tomographic light-field displays, earning him recognition from SMPTE for Best Student Paper. Movva also published a high-speed scheme for private information retrieval at the Oakland cryptography conference.

Before founding Sail Research, Movva gained experience across multiple layers of the AI technology stack. At NVIDIA, he contributed to advancements in GPU technology as the company transitioned from gaming chips to AI silicon. At Apple, he designed and shipped efficient computer vision algorithms and worked on the chip powering computer vision for iPhones. Movva later joined Together AI, where he contributed to building a high-performance large language model inference stack. His experiences at these organizations informed Sail Research’s focus on infrastructure tailored for long-horizon AI agents, as opposed to systems optimized for short, prompt-based interactions.

Sail Research develops infrastructure for AI agents capable of working autonomously on complex tasks over extended periods. The company’s platform features an inference stack optimized for throughput and efficiency, supporting agents that may process billions of tokens on a single task. Sailboxes, a sandbox environment, enables agents to operate for hours or days, charging only for active work time. In benchmarking, Sail’s inference stack achieved 90.72 percent accuracy on BrowseComp-Plus at up to 10 times lower cost than leading alternatives.

Sail Research launched with $80 million in combined seed and Series A funding at a $450 million valuation. Investors include Kleiner Perkins, Sequoia, Redpoint Ventures, Theory Ventures, Vine Ventures, CRV, A*, Abstract Ventures, and angel investors such as John Hennessy, chairman of Alphabet; Lip-Bu Tan, CEO of Intel; and Tri Dao, chief scientist at Together AI. Movva’s expertise in AI infrastructure, spanning software, hardware, and power optimization, positions him as a knowledgeable voice in discussions about the technical and economic factors shaping artificial intelligence development and deployment at scale.
