| XCENA is a semiconductor company that develops data-centric computing systems designed for AI and large-scale data processing environments. The company builds computational memory technology that combines high-capacity pooled DDR5 memory with near-data processing capabilities, allowing computation to occur closer to where data is stored. Its coreplatform is based on the Compute Express Link (CXL) standard, which enables memory expansion beyond traditional CPU limitations while improving data movement efficiency and reducing latency in data center workloads. XCENA’s architecture is designed to support applications such as artificial intelligence workloads, vector databases, and large-scale analytics by addressing memory bandwidth and capacity constraints. The company provides a hardware-software ecosystem that includes computational memory systems and a full-stack software development kit. This SDK offers APIs, runtime tools, and drivers that allow applications to use computational memory without major changes to existing software architectures while also supporting low-level control for performance optimization.XCENA’s flagship product line includes MX1, a CXL-based computational memory solution that integrates near-data processing engines with memory infrastructure to support AI inference and data-intensive workloads. The platform is designed to improve throughput and scalability in environments where traditional memory architectures become a bottleneck. The company operates in the broader field of AI infrastructure and memory innovation, working with customers such as hyperscalers, telecom providers, and research institutions that manage large-scale computing workloads. Its solutions are intended to improve efficiency in systems handling AI, big data processing, and scientific computing. | $44M / Series A / May 13, 2024 | ||
| Plcoskin is a MedTech company specializing in reconstructive plastic surgery and regenerative skincare. They have developed a scaffold that removes the need for cadaver-sourced material used in breast reconstruction surgery, making procedures safer and cheaper. Plcoskin’s scaffolds are made with synthetic PCL, a biodegradable material that iscommonly used to create surgical sutures. Unlike competitors' products that remain in the body for a lifetime, Plcoskin’s PCL scaffolds are absorbed and replaced with the recipient’s own natural tissues, minimizing the possibility of long-term side effects. As they do not contain any dangerous chemicals, they are also 50% safer than cadaver-sourced scaffolds.Costs for reconstructive breast surgery are brought down by 40% to only $3 thousand per breast. Furthermore, much less handling time is required, reducing average surgery durations from an hour and a half to only 30 minutes. The mesh design of the scaffolds mitigates the need for an additional follow-up reconstructive surgery, something that is common when using cadaver-sourced scaffolds.Plcoskin has also developed Youlief, a cosmeceutical product & therapeutic device pipeline that helps fund R&D for their medical devices. Youlief is available in the US, Europe, Taiwan, Singapore and Japan. | $4M / Series B / Aug 31, 2023 | ||
| S-Alpha Therapeutics is a digital health company developing software-based therapeutic solutions by combining biotechnology and IT. It focuses on digital therapeutics for conditions such as pediatric myopia and other unmet medical needs. The company builds clinically validated SaMD products, collaborates with global partners, and advances AI-drivenhealthcare solutions to transform treatment approaches. | $8.4M / Series B / Mar 15, 2023 | ||
