ZipLogic Umbra Encrypted Processing Unit for FHE compute on ciphertext

Intelligence Without Exposure.

Accelerated on Silicon.

ZipLogic builds Umbra, the Encrypted Processing Unit hardware platform enabling frontier AI models and relational database systems to compute natively on ciphertext using fully homomorphic encryption (FHE).

By replacing server-side plaintext memory exposure with self-custodied hardware acceleration, ZipLogic allows global enterprises and sovereign states to execute high-consequence workloads while retaining exclusive ownership of their secret keys.

ZChat

Type a prompt. The server inherits ciphertext.

Use the data without opening it.

Disk and wire are already encrypted. The moment you run a query or a model, the files open in memory. Fully homomorphic encryption is the idea that they never have to. Umbra is the card that makes that idea fast enough for a rack.

A bank scores fraud without shipping customer files. A ministry answers a citizen without reading the prompt. A coalition correlates holdings without declassifying the source.

Leadership

Gen Chia

Chief Executive Officer

Founded ZipLogic to close the decryption gap for institutions that cannot expose data to use it. Previously built an all-female esports organisation in a category that did not yet exist: the same problem as encrypted compute hardware.

Lennise Ng

Chief Operating Officer

Y Combinator alumna (W20). Co-founded Borong (formerly Dropee), scaling B2B commerce and SME financing across ASEAN. Runs ZipLogic operations: deployment readiness, organisational execution, and evaluation through to installed systems.

David Zheng

VP of Encryption

Leads the cryptographic programme and is named inventor on nine granted Umbra patents. Architecture notes, documentation, and a second reader sit around the inventor: the research function is not a single-person dependency.

Jim Zheng

VP of Product

Owns the Umbra product surface: RainDB, ZChat, the SDK, and the roadmap from card to workload.

Deborah Gouineau

VP of Marketing

Decade-plus brand and marketing leadership (Warner Hotels, Three UK). Positions ZipLogic for institutional buyers, not consumer noise.

Hazman Hassan

VP of Business Development

Builds institutional partnerships and commercial programmes across Southeast Asia: architect by training, operator by practice.

Methodology

1 Encrypted logic operations per second, measured on production silicon. Node figures estimated from measured single-card throughput.

2 End-to-end system overhead against equivalent native computation. Operation-level acceleration against lattice FHE is reported separately.
