What it does

Lightmatter鈥檚 products essentially do two things: Make computing faster and more energy-efficient 鈥 requirements critical to supporting the generative AI boom.

To dismiss its technology as 鈥渟omething that involves AI鈥 misses the fact that the company has been operating in the artificial intelligence space before funding to the artificial intelligence space was cool.

More specifically, the startup uses light to link computer chips together and to do calculations for deep learning. Customers and data centers want the company鈥檚 product, and the generative AI craze is driving demand.

And what a boom it鈥檚 been.

Overall, $20 billion has been raised by Prior to today鈥檚 announcement, had raised a total of million in funding over three rounds, according to . Its previous funding was raised on , and included and as backers.

Isn鈥檛 light free?

Yes, but harnessing it requires a lot of engineering talent. Overall, light has been used for decades to move data via fiber-optic cables (think telecommunications industry). But generally light is considered better at transmitting information than electrical signals over wires. Better in this case meaning more energy-efficient.

Large tech companies want to reduce power costs (understandably) so are turning to light-based solutions. And clearly, they are willing to pay for it and investors are willing to bet on it.

So much buzz

Are startups worried about the downturn? We guess it depends on who writes their checks.聽

In fact, , one of the oldest and more established venture firms in the U.S., earlier this year said it is earmarking $1 billion of its most recent fund solely for investments in artificial intelligence.

And that鈥檚 just one firm.

This week we published an interview with Bessemer partner , who aptly said of the AI movement: 鈥淟iterally trillions of dollars of value gets created when you have these massive tectonic shifts.鈥澛

And what about AI IPOs?

But it鈥檚 not all unicorns and rainbows for AI. Just because funding to the sector is hot, that doesn鈥檛 mean the appetite on the public markets is at the same level.

If we look at public markets (and we did) it鈥檚 clear that an AI focus hasn鈥檛 been a recipe for stock market gains. This is evident looking at recent performance of the most highly valued AI-oriented companies to go public in the quarters leading up to the market peak.

Back to the future

Let鈥檚 circle back to those trillions that Bessemer鈥檚 Dholakia was talking about. While we aren鈥檛 seeing the fruit of those hefty AI investments just yet, the promise (or at least the hope) among investors and the journalists that cover them is that these startups will deliver sooner rather than later.

According to Dholakia, the 鈥渁doption curve on this one will be mind-blowingly fast.鈥澛
