San Jose-based semiconductor infrastructure startup Point2 Technology has closed an extension of its Series B funding round, bringing total Series B capital to $76 million as investor interest intensifies around next-generation AI data center hardware. The latest raise underscores the growing importance of high-speed interconnect solutions as AI workloads scale globally. The extension round was led by Maverick Silicon, with participation from NVentures and UMC Capital. Their backing highlights strong strategic confidence from investors tied closely to semiconductor and advanced computing ecosystems. Founded to solve data transfer bottlenecks inside hyperscale computing systems, Point2 develops RF-based interconnect technology designed to outperform traditional copper and optical connectivity solutions. As AI clusters become larger and more power-intensive, moving data efficiently between chips, racks, and accelerators has become a critical infrastructure challenge. The company’s flagship e-Tube platform uses RF signaling over plastic waveguides to deliver higher bandwidth density, lower latency, improved reach, and better power efficiency. This enables faster accelerator-to-accelerator communication essential for training and inference workloads powering generative AI systems. Point2 is also developing multiple deployment formats including Active RF Cables, near-package modules, and co-packaged solutions, allowing the technology to integrate across future rack-scale compute architectures. These innovations aim to reduce complexity and cost compared with conventional optical alternatives. The new capital will be used to accelerate commercialization, scale engineering teams, and support broader ecosystem deployment as cloud providers and chipmakers seek more efficient infrastructure for AI expansion. As global demand for AI compute surges, Point2 is positioning itself as a critical enabler of the next wave of data center innovation where connectivity performance may matter as much as raw processing power.
