Dutch cloud company HyperAI has sued UK chipmaking startup Graphcore over breach of contract, accusing the British startup of walking away from a cloud partnership deal and failing to deliver technical support that it had paid for.
HyperAI, founded in the Netherlands in 2021, filed the case in the Amsterdam courts late last year, CEO and cofounder Andrew Foe tells Sifted.
In an attempt to solve the dispute, Foe sent a formal letter to Graphcores CEO Nigel Toon on December 28, 2022, resulting in an hour-long meeting between the two executives on January 6, 2023. During the conversation, Foe says that Toon said all of Graphcores partners were equal and at that moment there were no preferred partners, adding that he had had to fire lots of engineers and would not be able to offer technical support to HyperAI.
