About SunRise Memory
Founded in 2016 by Dr. Eli Harari, SunRise Memory is pioneering the next generation of memory technology to meet the explosive demands of AI, LLMs, and high-performance computing.
Our Vision
In 2016, Eli Harari — founder and former CEO of SanDisk — foresaw the inevitable scaling limitations of DRAM in the face of memory-hungry AI applications. He founded SunRise Memory to develop a revolutionary alternative.
Today, our team of 40 engineers in the USA and Israel is developing the first 3D ferroelectric RAM: a high-capacity, high-bandwidth, low-power system solution designed from the ground up for manufacturability in existing 3D NAND fabs.
By 2026 and beyond, we aim to deliver 10X higher bit density than DRAM, with revolutionary system architecture enabling hundreds of parallel memory banks per chip — accelerating the shift to a memory-centric computing era.
