Celera Semiconductor Announces the Closing of a $30M Series B Financing Round

Celera Semiconductor, the analog IC supplier using AI to slash the cost and time to develop and supply analog ICs, today announced it had closed $30M of Series B financing. The round was fully funded by Maverick Silicon, Celera’s largest investor. “Celera has made significant progress in the last two years,” said Patrick Brockett, CEO of Celera Semiconductor. “We recently acquired Silicon Gate, a world class product development and design automation team in Portugal. We are rapidly expanding that team.” “We have also enhanced Celera’s design and AI leadership in California, expanding the power management applications we can address,” said Dr. Helen Song, CTO of Celera Semiconductor. “Furthermore, this funding will accelerate our design automation roadmap.” “Celera is creating a new and highly efficient option to source custom analog designs,” said Kenneth Safar, Managing Director at Maverick Silicon. “Every system has critical analog content, and sourcing those products has created schedule challenges for many customers. Celera is providing a way to remove these barriers. We believe the impact will be substantial.”
