• Arcascope

  Participated · Seed · Sep 2022

  Arcascope is a circadian rhythms technology company led by CEO Olivia Walch that uses signals from wearable devices to offer personalized behavioral recommendations and environmental integrations. The company’s core product is a platform currently accessible through the smartphone app Shift that provides evidence-based guidance to address circadian disruption caused by modern life. Arcascope focuses on solutions for shift workers and their employers and plans to accelerate commercial rollout of that offering. It intends to expand into new application areas as it scales. Arcascope raised $2.85M in Seed funding to support those plans. The company is based in Chantilly, VA.

• Movellus

  Participated · Series B · Sep 2022

  Movellus builds an Intelligent Clock Network™ platform and patented architectural innovations designed to maximize performance, power, and yield for advanced silicon architectures. Customers have integrated the platform into products spanning ultra-low-power edge AI devices to performance-centric cloud datacenter compute and AI offerings. The company says the new funding will be used to expand R&D and build out marketing and sales to support growth plans. Movellus closed a $23M Series B and reported a significant step up in valuation in the current round. SK hynix made a strategic investment and, along with other investors, endorsed Movellus’ technology and long-term strategy. The company is headquartered in San Jose with R&D centers in Michigan and Toronto. Movellus uses digital infrastructure to automatically produce design-optimized, process-portable analog blocks (PLLs, DLLs and LDOs) built from standard cells. Its initial products are optimized per design for markets ranging from edge AI to high-performance cloud computing. The company can create nano-watt PLLs for ultra-low-power, battery-less applications and serves customers across cloud computing, AI, edge AI and FPGA markets. Movellus aims to dramatically reduce SoC time-to-market while improving power, performance and area through automated analog design. The company has raised $10M to date, including a new $6M Series A. The new funding will be used to expand infrastructure, broaden the product portfolio, and increase market penetration. Movellus develops traditionally analog IPs using proprietary generators that leverage industry-standard digital implementation tools and standard cell libraries. Its generators automatically produce PLLs, DLLs and LDOs optimized per design and are process-portable. The generated IP delivers comparable performance with lower power consumption and a smaller footprint. IP from Movellus is customizable, silicon-verified, and can be delivered faster to meet aggressive schedules. Customers include semiconductor and systems companies in the artificial intelligence, networking, and FPGA segments. Movellus is located in San Jose, California. Movellus builds technology that enables digital design tools to automatically create and implement functions that were previously implemented using custom analog methods. Its flagship products are Movellus PLL, DLL and LDO Generators, which the company says deliver optimized, process‑portable, 100% digitally‑implemented IP in hours. Movellus claims the digital approach shortens implementation time, reduces power consumption, and yields a smaller footprint compared with traditional analog IP. The company targets semiconductor and systems customers in AI, networking, and FPGA segments. Movellus says the newly closed funding will be used to accelerate market deployment and adoption of its technology by semiconductor and system design companies. Movellus is located in San Jose, California.
