Innatera, een Nederlandse spin-off van de TU Delft, heeft aangekondigd bijna twintig miljoen euro aan investeringen te hebben opgehaald voor de ontwikkeling van zijn AI-chips. Innatera presenteerde zijn eerste chip eerder dit jaar, gebaseerd op RISC V-architectuur.
Netherlands-based Innatera, a developer of ultra-low power intelligence for sensors, has secured $21M (nearly €19.58M) in an oversubscribed Series A round of funding. This total includes an additional $5M (nearly €4.66M) on top of the $16M (nearly €14.92M) announced in March 2024.
While much of the tech world remains fixated on the latest large language models (LLMs) powered by Nvidia GPUs, a quieter revolution is brewing in AI hardware. As the limitations and energy demands of traditional deep learning architectures become increasingly apparent, a new paradigm called neuromorphic computing is emerging – one that promises to slash the computational and power requirements of AI by orders of magnitude.
But what exactly are neuromorphic systems? To find out, VentureBeat spoke with Sumeet Kumar, CEO and founder of Innatera, a leading startup in the neuromorphic chip space.
Het eerste kwartaal van 2024 sluit af met een magere maand maart voor investeringen in startups en scaleups. Tegenover een paar klappers van tientallen miljoenen voor Mews, Eye Security en TheyDo stonden opvallend weinig pre-seed en seedrondes.
Innatera: 15 miljoen voor chip die brein nabootst
Innatera, een spin-out van TU Delft die zogenoemde neuromorfische chips ontwikkelt, haalde 15 miljoen euro op voor zijn processor, die mechanismen van de hersenen voor het verwerken van sensorgegevens nauwgezet nabootst. Het geld kwam van het Invest-NL Deep Tech Fonds en het Europese EIC Fund. Bestaande investeerders als Delft Enterprises lapten bij.
Met het verse kapitaal kan het bedrijf van ceo Sumeet Kumar de opstart van de massaproductie van de superzuinige processors versnellen, nieuwe toepassingen ontwikkelen en de samenwerking met klanten opschalen.
Innatera Nanosystems has announced the successful closing of an investment round in which it has raised 15 million euros to bring its ultra-low-power neuromorphic processors to sensors and sensor-based devices. The money comes from Invest-NL’s Deep Tech Fund, the EIC Fund and existing backers MIG Capital, Matterwave Ventures and Delft Enterprises. It enables the TU Delft spinoff to accelerate the ramp-up of volume production, broaden the applicability of its products and scale up customer collaborations.
Dutch chip startup up Innatera has raised €15m for its neuromorphic edge AI technology.
The Series A round at Innatera is to scale up its production and broaden its customers for sensor-based edge AI applications using its neuropmorphic spiking neural network (SNN) technology.
The investment came from Invest-NL Deep Tech Fund, the EIC Fund, MIG Capital, Matterwave Ventures and Delft Enterprises.
“With the sensors becoming more complex it’s a large volume of data which needs to be sent into the cloud, and this simply takes too long and costs too much. That’s the reason why more of the processing is coming close to the sensor,” said Sumeet Kumar, cofounder and CEO at Innatera.
