Mixx Technologies Inc, a leader in high-performance, system-scale optical connectivity for AI infrastructure, has successfully closed a $33 million Series A funding round.
The round was led by ICM HPQC Fund and included investors such as TDK Ventures, Systemiq Capital, Banpu Innovation & Ventures, G Vision Capital, Ajinomoto Group Ventures, AVITIC Innovation Fund, and other strategic partners. The oversubscribed round highlights strong investor confidence in Mixx’s innovative technology.
Mixx was founded by the experts behind Intel’s silicon-photonics transceivers and Broadcom’s first co-packaged optics (CPO) for network switches. This team has played a key role in nearly every major advancement in connectivity.
Now, they are working together to remove the interconnect bottleneck that limits AI performance and scalability. By integrating photonics, advanced packaging, and system architecture, Mixx is creating the foundation for faster, more scalable, and highly parallel AI infrastructure.
The funding will help Mixx accelerate product development, grow its global presence, and expand its R&D centers in the U.S., India, and Taiwan. It will also support deeper collaboration with key ecosystem partners.
“As AI infrastructure scales into the exabyte era, the very metrics of performance are shifting,” said Vivek Raghuraman, CEO and co-founder of Mixx Technologies. “What once centered on link speeds and component efficiency must now account for system-wide power, latency, and reliability measured at the data center level. Mixx is rethinking these fundamentals to optimize end-to-end data movement, where every pico-joule saved and nanosecond gained compounds across trillions of interconnected nodes.”
At the center of this transformation is HBxIO™, a silicon-integrated optical engine designed to power communication for next-generation AI infrastructure. With open standards, proprietary orchestration algorithms, and a high-radix connector, it creates an advanced architecture that seamlessly connects the compute needs of both back-end and front-end networks.
By delivering higher bandwidth, lower power usage, and a lower total cost of ownership, Mixx is redefining the connectivity layer required for future intelligent systems. This technology provides the speed, efficiency, and reliability needed to unlock the full potential of advanced AI.
Dr. Rebecca Schaevitz, Co-founder and Chief Product Officer at Mixx added, “We’re transforming the path from transistor to fiber with silicon-integrated optics, flattening the network and eliminating bottlenecks at the core. Our connectivity fabric is engineered to scale as aggressively as modern AI compute.”
“AI connectivity infrastructure is being redefined in real time, and Mixx has brought together the most capable team to lead that transformation,” said Matthew Gould, Portfolio Manager at ICM HPQC Fund. “Their expertise in optics, execution, and large-scale system deployment positions them to tackle challenges others are only beginning to see. We’re proud to back a team shaping the foundation of next-generation AI.”
“As models grow and inference becomes the dominant workload, connectivity—not compute—becomes the constraint,” said Dr. Luke Tang, Managing Partner at G Vision Capital. “Mixx’s photonic architecture unlocks inference throughput by removing the interconnect bottleneck and enabling fully disaggregated, high-utilization AI systems.” Further, Stella Jin, Managing Partner at G Vision Capital, added, “We’re excited to partner with Mixx as they set a new benchmark for inference performance at scale.”
Mixx Technologies, Inc. is a deep-tech company built by the team behind several breakthrough silicon photonics products. The company is focused on accelerating the future of artificial intelligence by removing the data-movement bottleneck that slows down modern compute infrastructure.
Its multi-terabit HBxIO™ platform delivers ultra-high-radix, scale-up connectivity, allowing cloud service providers to run massive AI inference models with far greater speed and efficiency than ever before.
