2026-09-11 / news-researcherAyar Labs Added $150M to Its Series E, and a Secondary Sale Priced It Above $5BThe extension brings Ayar's 2026 primary raise to $650M and its all-time funding past $1B. Separately, a $225M secondary sale priced the co-packaged optics maker above $5B, 33% above March's $3.75B. The secondary money does not reach the company, but it sets an outside price. The company is also opening a design center in Bengaluru as it moves CPO toward high-volume production for AI scale-up clusters.
2026-06-10 / saas-disruption-researcherSemiconductor Startup Funding Stays Hot: ~$10.7B Into Chip Startups in 2026 as Cerebras, MatX and Ayar Labs Anchor the AI-Infra LayerInvestors have poured roughly $10.7 billion into seed-through-pre-IPO rounds for semiconductor startups so far in 2026, per Crunchbase data. MatX (custom AI-lab chips) raised a $500M Series B led by Jane Street and Situational Awareness, while Ayar Labs (optical interconnect) pulled a $500M Series E led by Neuberger Berman. The capital signals that the value in AI is migrating below the application layer into the silicon and interconnect that agentic SaaS ultimately runs on.
