“By providing a non-intrusive digital ID in a miniaturized, unique form factor, our disruptive E-Thread technology transforms products into smart objects. “With this latest funding round, we are entering a phase of strong industrial growth to meet booming customer demand,” said Emmanuel Arène, CEO and founder of Primo1D. The E-Thread tag can be used in applications from clothing to tires and electrical cables for identification, authentication, and traceability.
Primo1D offers embedded RAIN RFID tags in a plastic-free thread form factor that can be integrated into products during manufacturing. Primo1D received €15.0M (~$17.4M) in venture funding from Bpifrance, Innovacom, and previous investors. Founded in 2019, it is based in Campbell, California, USA, and has raised $48M to date. By redefining the interface between the architecture and the compiler, Ascenium says its Aptos processor and LLVM backend can reduce performance bottlenecks and power consumption. Based in Guangzhou, China, it was founded in 2017.Īscenium raised $23.0M in venture funding for its general-purpose processor without an instruction set. Unicmicro designs chips targeted at low-power IoT applications, including both Arm and RISC-V based microcontrollers, RF and analog front-end chips, power management, and complete wireless SoCs.

Unicmicro, also known as Guangxin Microelectronics and Broadchip Microelectronics, raised nearly CNY 200.0M (~$31.3M) in a Series B round that included Huiyou Investment and Sunic Capital. Founded in 2020, Moore Threads is based in Beijing and Shanghai, China. In addition to graphics, the company is targeting AI and high-performance computing tasks. The startup is focused on GPU R&D, design, and manufacturing and hopes to form the base of a complete GPU ecosystem in China. Moore Threads raised CNY 2,000.0M (~$313.1M) in Series A funding led by Shanghai Guosheng Group, 5Y Capital, and Bohai Sheng (Hubei) Industrial Fund Management, joined by institutions including CCB International, China Merchants Securities, Hubei Hongtai High-Quality Development Fund, Qianhai FOF, ByteDance, and Tencent. Here is a look at 100 companies that collectively raised over $4 billion in the month of November. Plus, a Chinese GPU startup saw a flood of new funding and a truly massive chip drew investors’ attention. Two companies are focused on touch interaction, while another aims to make it easier for those with communication and motor disabilities to interact with everyday tech.Īutonomous driving was another hot area last month, with two companies raising $500 million or more each and several others seeing rounds over $100 million. Most of those are developing waveguides and other display technology that is light enough to be comfortable to wear regularly. As the concept of the ‘metaverse’ becomes more widespread with Nvidia’s recent GTC announcements and Facebook’s rebranding, investors poured money into startups with enabling technology for augmented, virtual, and extended reality. There’s nothing virtual about the level of interest in AR/VR startups.
