Chiral Raises $12 Million to Unlock Computing Beyond Moore's Law

By Richard Snee, on behalf of The Crane Team

For decades, advances in computing have relied on making silicon chips smaller, faster and more efficient.

That era is beginning to change.

Chiral is developing photonic computing technology designed to move beyond the assumptions that have defined computing for more than half a century, opening the possibility of dramatically faster and more energy-efficient AI infrastructure.

Its $12 million funding round marks another significant step towards commercialising this next generation of computing.

Why we're excited

The future of AI depends on breakthroughs far below the application layer. We believe some of the defining companies of the next decade will emerge from rethinking the hardware that powers intelligence itself. Chiral represents exactly that kind of long-term technical ambition—challenging fundamental assumptions to unlock entirely new possibilities.

Congratulations to the Chiral team on an exciting milestone.
