Most people talk about AI. Few ask what AI runs on. Top Tier Impact mapped the full AI stack from the silicon and photonic chips at the foundation, all the way up to the agent layer where AI meets the real world. Five years ago this stack barely existed. Today it spans hundreds of startups across four layers: → Hardware & Power → Sustainability & Computing → Data Platforms, Models & Dev Tools → AI Agents & Orchestration Each layer depends on the one below it. No chips, no models. No models, no agents. No agents, no transformation. The application layer gets the headlines. The infrastructure layer gets the leverage. The agent layer is where both worlds collide. Which layer do you think is most underinvested right now? ♻️ Save this map and get the next one before it drops here: https://lnkd.in/gNJRHZP9 #AIInfrastructure #DeepTech #AIStartups #VentureCapital
