Hardware startup Mueon Corp. has secured $65 million in a Series A funding round. The investment was led by Maverick Silicon, with participation from Intel Capital, Oregon Venture Fund, Wellington Capital, and IQT.
The company was established last year by former Intel engineers Wilfred Gomes and Jack Hwang. Gomes serves as CEO, while Hwang holds the position of CTO. Both founders previously worked on die stacking and silicon etching technologies at Intel.
Mueon is developing a 3D server architecture called Cubelet, which stacks computing and memory components vertically. The company claims this design could be up to 10 times more power- and cost-efficient than standard 2D hardware by reducing data travel distances.
Cubelet modules integrate computing, storage, interconnect, power delivery, and thermal management hardware. The system is designed to support various chip types, including graphics cards and Arm CPUs, and is optimized for AI and hyperscale workloads.
The startup plans to use the new capital to expand its engineering team and refine its system architecture. Additionally, Mueon is developing software to enable the execution of popular AI frameworks on its hardware platform.
