More and bigger funding rounds for AI chips and AI for making chips; 75 companies raise $3 billion.
The promise of AI dominated the last quarter of 2025. Investors were eager to claim stakes in both brand-new startups and more established companies developing AI-specific hardware, primarily for data centers, with over $1 billion alone flowing into the sector. The largest round of the quarter went to a new entrant aiming to fundamentally change how AI compute is performed, while two in-memory compute companies also drew significant funding.
But it’s not just chipmakers reaping the benefits of the AI boom. The potential to improve the design process itself is spurring the creation of new companies offering agentic AI design and debug, PCB layout, and AI-assisted physics simulation.
The number of mega-rounds has also increased lately. Semiconductor Engineering tracked 12 rounds of $100 million or more in Q4 and 11 in Q3, a significant increase from earlier in 2025 and 2024, when around 6 per quarter was more common. Other highlights of the quarter include new memory technologies, power management and conversion chips, additive manufacturing, and security in this look at 75 companies that collectively raised $3 billion in Q4 2025.
