AI Chip Startup Kneron Seeks Funds at $1 Billion Valuation

October 22, 2024

... Its listing is tentatively slated for 2025. Kneron signed a non-binding letter of intent to list on the Nasdaq through a special purpose acquisition company, Spark I Acquisition Corp., which is sponsored by one of its investors SparkLabs Group, according to a US securities filing on Monday.

....Kneron was founded in 2015 by former Qualcomm Inc. engineer Albert Liu and has headquarters in San Diego and Taipei.

....While the AI investor frenzy has focused on Nvidia Corp., whose chips became coveted hardware for training advanced tools like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, a growing number of startups are targeting the market for running trained AI models on so-called edge devices, including smartphones, PCs, cameras, cars, drones and robots.
