Morphing Machines raises $2.76 Mn in seed round

Fabless semiconductor startup Morphing Machines has raised $2.76 million in its seed round led by Speciale Invest, a seed stage VC investing in deep technologies. 

The round also saw participation from IvyCap Ventures, Golden Sparrow, Navam Capital, CIIE Initiatives, and DeVC. 

The proceeds will be used to ramp up product development and prototyping, expand the engineering team, and support go-to-market initiatives, the company said in a press release.

Supported by the Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology (MeitY) under the Design Linked Incentive Scheme (DLI) and Chips2Startup (C2S) schemes, Morphing Machines is developing REDEFINE, a many-core processor Soft IP. This processor can handle various applications like data analysis, artificial intelligence, telecommunications, and high-performance computing. 

By combining functions typically managed by different types of processors, Morphing offers customers better performance and energy efficiency, while also reducing the time and cost needed to bring products to market.

Currently, Morphing Machines has a team of over 20 members and is expanding to over 40 members to support design, verification, emulation, and tape-out processes.
