CEO Interview with Alex Higginbottom of Zenithon
What happened
Zenithon, co-founded by Alex Higginbottom and Abetharan Antony in July 2025, has raised $10 million to accelerate development of world models for critical technologies. The company plans to ship a new model generation roughly every three months, allocating about half of the funds to compute and half to headcount, and is working on training models directly from experimental output to close the sim-real gap. Its focus is on semiconductor processes such as plasma etching, deposition, and reactor design, where its world models can search the parameter space a million times faster than conventional solvers.
