MintNeuro raised $5 million to accelerate commercialization of its semiconductor platform for neural devices and brain-computer interfaces. Odyssey Ventures led the financing. 33East, JSK Investments, and Alumni Ventures participated alongside returning investor Empirical Ventures, Jumpspace Ventures, and other early investors.
MintNeuro develops specialized semiconductor chips for neural devices ranging from implants to wearables.
The company said its technology is designed to deliver better performance than generic components while reducing the cost, risk, and development time associated with custom chip design.
MintNeuro has already produced working silicon and reached integration milestones with research and development partners including Motif Neurotech and Amber Therapeutics.
Earlier in 2026, the company announced a multi-year chip supply agreement with Motif supporting development of a minimally invasive neurostimulator initially targeting treatment-resistant depression.
MintNeuro plans to use the financing to expand engineering and commercial teams, launch products, support customer adoption, and strengthen its presence in the U.S.
The company’s modular semiconductor architecture supports neural sensing, signal processing, and stimulation.
MintNeuro was founded as a spinout from Imperial College London.
KEY QUOTES:
“We are building the chips that end that trade-off. This funding moves us from technology validation to commercial scale-up, with more customer programmes, faster product launches and our chips in the hands of many more developers.”
Dorian Haci, Co-Founder and CEO of MintNeuro
“Neural devices such as BCIs represent one of the most exciting frontier technology opportunities today, and significant value will accrue to those solving the foundational infrastructure challenges that stand between innovation and widespread adoption.”
Michelle Robson, Founding Partner at Odyssey Ventures
“We invested before the chips were in hand, and we are reinvesting now that MintNeuro has working silicon, deep customer traction and a clear path to becoming a category-defining semiconductor business.”
Johnathan Matlock, Co-Founder and General Partner at Empirical Ventures
