Photon Bridge has raised €10m, Sifted reports exclusively. The startup is developing laser devices designed to connect AI chips, an area that matters as AI workloads push demand for faster and more efficient data transfer between processors.
The funding is described as a seed round. Sifted's report does not include additional details on which investors participated or what valuation the round implies, so the headline figure is the main confirmed data point.
Even with those limits, the raise signals early investor appetite for hardware that tackles the physical bottlenecks in AI computing. Laser-based chip-to-chip links could offer an alternative to traditional electrical connections, though the report does not specify technical performance or commercial timelines.
