Founder Stories – Breaking the AI Memory Wall

In this episode of Grove Talks: Founder Stories, Dov Moran sits down with Ofer Shacham, Co-founder and CEO of Majestic Labs, shortly after the company emerged from stealth with $100M in funding.

Ofer shares his remarkable journey, from growing up in Israel to leading cutting-edge silicon efforts at Stanford, Google, and Meta, and ultimately founding Majestic Labs to tackle one of the biggest challenges in AI infrastructure today: the AI memory wall.

The conversation explores:

• Why the next era of AI won’t be won by compute alone
• How Majestic is rethinking AI infrastructure from the ground up
• What it really means to build ubiquitous AI beyond hyperscalers
• Leaving senior leadership at Meta to return to startup life
• Building a company across Israel and California with long-time partners
• Why healthcare and life sciences may be among AI’s most transformative frontiers
• The mindset required to compete, intelligently, with industry giants like NVIDIA

This episode is not just a technical deep dive, but a deeply personal founder story about long-term vision, resilience, and building world-class teams, all the way from the lab to global scale.

A must-listen for founders, operators, and anyone thinking seriously about the future of AI infrastructure.
