Chip startup optoML raises $1.8 million from Bluehill.VC, A99; completes 12 nm tapeout
Fabless semiconductor startup optoML has raised $1.8 million from a round led by Bluehill.VC and A99. The investment is subject to regulatory approval.
The startup said the funds will be used to scale up hiring and begin work on its next-generation of chips, following the tapeout of its 12 nm wafers with TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company). Tapeout is the stage at which a chip design is finalised, verified, and sent to the foundry for manufacturing.
