Mojo Vision secures $17.5M for AI optical I/O

News

Mojo Vision has secured new funding to accelerate its micro-LED-based optical I/O platform, targeting higher bandwidth density and lower power consumption for next-generation AI and data centre interconnects.

Mojo Vision has raised $17.5 million in strategic investment from Future Ventures to accelerate the development of its micro-LED technology for AI infrastructure.

The funding builds on a previous $75 million round and supports the company’s push to commercialise a new class of optical I/O designed to address growing bottlenecks in data centre interconnects.

As AI workloads scale, bandwidth density and energy efficiency are becoming critical limitations for conventional electrical and optical approaches.

Mojo Vision’s platform replaces traditional laser-based systems with dense arrays of micro-LEDs, enabling thousands of optical lanes to operate in parallel.

This architecture is designed to significantly increase bandwidth while reducing energy per bit, offering a more scalable solution for AI and cloud environments.

The announcement follows a strategic collaboration with Marvell to develop high-density optical connectivity solutions, highlighting increasing industry interest in alternative interconnect architectures.

According to Mojo Vision, its approach is particularly suited to emerging system designs where power efficiency, footprint, and scalability are critical.

This includes not only hyperscale data centres but also distributed and next-generation computing environments.

The investment signals continued momentum behind optical I/O as the industry looks beyond incremental improvements, with new architectures expected to play a key role in supporting future AI infrastructure demands.
