C2i Semiconductors extends Series A funding to $16.7 million
C2i Semiconductors, a Bengaluru-based semiconductor startup, has extended its Series A funding round to $16.7 million. This extension includes participation from TDK Ventures, alongside existing investors including Peak XV Partners and Yali Capital.
The company is focused on power delivery and power management for data centers, a critical bottleneck in AI infrastructure. The announcement comes at a time when global AI adoption is reshaping how investors evaluate semiconductor opportunities.
C2i had previously raised $15 million in a Series A round in February 2026. The fresh capital will be used to support the company’s growth, although specific details on the use of funds were not disclosed.
The explosive growth of AI workloads is creating challenges that extend far beyond processor performance, with electricity consumption emerging as a critical constraint. C2i develops power-management solutions designed to improve how electricity flows from the grid to compute infrastructure, with a focus on AI data centers and cloud environments.
