Overview

Analog Devices (NYSE: ADI) defines innovation and excellence in signal processing. ADI's analog, mixed-signal, and digital signal processing (DSP) integrated circuits (IC) play a fundamental role in converting, conditioning, and processing real-world phenomena such as light, sound, temperature, motion, and pressure into electrical signals to be used in a wide array of electronic equipment. But that doesn't begin to capture the essence of what Analog Devices does for their customers, and ultimately for the end user.

  • Lila Sciences

    Participated · Series A · Oct 2025

    Lila Sciences develops an AI-driven platform that trains models on scientific literature across material sciences, chemistry and life sciences and generates experimental hypotheses. The company pairs those model outputs with laboratory setups to experimentally validate and close the loop between prediction and reproducible results. Reporting says Lila aims for a domain‑crossing, general-purpose science enablement stack rather than narrowly focused tools. Financially, it has completed a reported $200 million seed, emerged from stealth last year, and closed a $350 million Series A in October that lifted its valuation above $1.3 billion. Current reporting describes Lila negotiating an approximately $2 billion financing to scale compute, inference and laboratory capacity and to accelerate partner programs. The firm's growth narrative emphasizes standardizing experiment and feedback loops to make discovery repeatable and scalable.

  • CesiumAstro

    Participated · Series A · Mar 2019

    Founded in 2017, CesiumAstro designs and manufactures full-stack, software-defined communications payloads, processors, and complete small satellites. Its core Element platform combines modular, in-house-built hardware with AI that optimizes signals in real time, allowing operators to reconfigure missions after launch. The technology has been flight-proven on eight SpaceX launches and targets dense low-Earth-orbit constellations as well as defense applications. By integrating payloads, satellites, and processors under one roof, the company aims to shorten upgrade cycles and reduce costs compared with legacy providers. With fresh capital, CesiumAstro will scale U.S. manufacturing, open a 270,000-square-foot headquarters near Austin, and increase hiring in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, and Japan. The firm also plans to accelerate launches of its Element satellites, advance its AI capabilities, and pursue additional defense contracts through at least 2027.
