Point2 Technology raises $76 million for AI data center chip interconnects, backed by NVIDIA's venture arm

Point2 Technology, a startup building RF-based interconnect solutions (the wiring and communication technology that connects AI chips together in data centers), closed a $76 million Series B funding round led by Maverick Silicon, with participation from NVentures (NVIDIA's venture capital arm) and UMC Capital on April 21, 2026.

Point2's RF interconnects replace traditional copper wiring between AI chips with radio-frequency connections, reducing power loss and heat generation — critical bottlenecks as AI data centers scale to thousands of chips working in parallel. This matters because current data centers lose significant power and computational speed to inefficient chip-to-chip communication.

Data center operators and AI chip makers (like NVIDIA, AMD, and hyperscalers such as Google and Meta) now have a funded alternative to redesign how their chips talk to each other, potentially lowering electricity costs and letting them train larger AI models without building bigger physical facilities. NVIDIA's investment signals confidence that Point2's approach will become infrastructure-level technology, similar to how Ethernet standardized network connections decades ago.
