Mixx Technologies, a deep-tech company developing high-performance, silicon-integrated optical connectivity for artificial intelligence infrastructure, has raised $33 million in Series A funding. The round was led by ICM HPQC Fund, with participation from TDK Ventures, Systemiq Capital, Banpu Innovation & Ventures, G Vision Capital, Ajinomoto Group Ventures, AVITIC Innovation Fund, and several additional strategic investors.
The funding underscores strong market conviction in Mixx’s approach to solving system-scale interconnect bottlenecks that constrain AI performance and scalability.
Founded by engineers behind Intel’s silicon-photonics transceivers and Broadcom’s first co-packaged optics platform, Mixx is unifying photonics, advanced packaging and system-level architecture to accelerate and parallelize next-generation AI infrastructure. The company’s platform is built to overcome the limitations of traditional electrical connectivity as models grow toward exabyte-scale computational demands.
Mixx will use the new capital to accelerate product development and expand its global footprint with R&D centers and ecosystem partnerships across the U.S., India and Taiwan.
A core element of the company’s technology stack is HBxIO, a silicon-integrated optical engine that functions as a communication platform for future AI systems. Paired with open standards, specialized orchestration algorithms and a high-radix connector, the architecture aims to deliver higher bandwidth, lower power consumption and greater system-level reliability while reducing total cost of ownership for data center operators.
Mixx Technologies is headquartered in San Jose, California, with operations in India and Taiwan. The company’s multi-terabit HBxIO platform is designed to enable cloud providers to deploy large-scale AI inference models with significantly improved efficiency, performance and sustainability.
KEY QUOTE:
“As AI infrastructure scales into the exabyte era, the very metrics of performance are shifting. 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 picojoule saved and nanosecond gained compounds across trillions of interconnected nodes.”
