- Volantis raised $88 million in venture capital, announcing the round on Thursday in coverage by Reuters' Stephen Nellis.
- Volantis aims to use vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs)—the same laser class behind Apple's iPhone Face ID system—to transmit data between AI processors and memory chips.
Why it matters: The $88 million round funds Volantis's effort to apply VCSEL components—already mass-produced for iPhone Face ID—to data movement in AI hardware. The startup is targeting one of AI infrastructure's core constraints: getting data quickly between processors and memory.
