Mojo Vision gains $17.5 M investment from Future Ventures...

...and Mojo and Marvell partner to develop high-density microLED connectivity.

Mojo Vision a developer of microLEDs, has announced a $17.5 million strategic investment from Future Ventures. The investment follows Mojo Vision’s previous $75 million financing round in August 2025, and will help accelerate the development and commercialization of its microLED platform for next-generation AI infrastructure.

As AI workloads continue to scale, data center interconnects are emerging as a critical bottleneck, with bandwidth density and power efficiency becoming increasingly limiting factors. Mojo Vision’s microLED technology is designed to enable a new class of optical I/O, delivering massively parallel connectivity with higher bandwidth density and lower energy per bit.

The investment also builds on Mojo Vision’s recently announced strategic collaboration with Marvell (see below) to develop high-density microLED connectivity solutions for AI data center infrastructure.

“AI infrastructure is reaching fundamental limits in bandwidth density and power efficiency, and incremental improvements are no longer enough,” said Nikhil Balram, CEO of Mojo Vision. “Our microLED platform was purpose-built to overcome this tradeoff, enabling thousands of optical lanes in a compact footprint and unlocking major gains in bandwidth while lowering energy per bit. This investment will accelerate our path to bringing a new class of optical interconnect solutions to market.”

Steve Jurvetson, Founder and Managing Director of Future Ventures, said: “Mojo Vision’s approach has the potential to deliver dramatic gains in bandwidth density while reducing energy per bit. With thousands of optical channels operating in parallel, this architecture offers a fundamentally more scalable path than traditional approaches.”

In related news, Mojo Vision and Marvell Technology, a developer of data infrastructure semiconductor solutions, have announced a collaboration to develop what they call “a new class of optical interconnect solutions to power the next wave of high-performance AI data center infrastructure”.

Marvell served as the largest investor in Mojo Vision’s 2025 Series B Prime financing and entered into a multi-generational agreement to jointly develop a new class of optical interconnects. Based on Mojo Vision’s microLED platform and Marvell’s connectivity technology portfolio, the new microLED connectivity offerings have been in development for more than a year, and will support a variety of AI data center interconnect form factors and applications for hyperscale and cloud data center customers.

“MicroLED technology represents an important technology capability for high-performance data center connectivity applications,” said Xi Wang, senior vice president and general manager, Connectivity Business Unit at Marvell. Mojo’s Balram commented, “The high density and low cost of our microLED arrays allow us to build pixel-level redundancy and dynamically map microLED emitters to fiber channels in our proprietary software, resulting in reliable, dense, and power-efficient optical interconnects.”
