Austin, United States
Neurophos, founded in 2020, is making waves in the AI and Hardware industries with its groundbreaking product, the OPU. This photonic AI chip, championed by the company's slogan "Photonic ExaFLOPS AI chips", promises performance equivalent to a 3,000-pound server while maintaining the compactness of a single GPU.
The innovative optical "transistor" technology used in the OPU enables terawatt-scale computing within a gigawatt-scale footprint, effectively fitting millions of weights into an area as small as a postage stamp, which traditionally requires a square meter of space.
Headquartered in the United States, Neurophos recently secured a $110.00M Series A investment on 01 January 2026, backed by a robust roster of investors including Tectonic Ventures, M12, Robert Bosch Venture Capital, Aramco Ventures, Carbon Direct Capital, Gates Frontier, and Space Capital. This investment underscores significant market confidence in Neurophos's potential to reshape the AI hardware landscape.
