MintNeuro raised 4.4 million euros, roughly $5 million, in a round led by Odyssey Ventures. 33East, JSK Investments and Alumni Ventures joined, with Empirical Ventures and Jumpspace Ventures returning. The London company sells application-specific chips for neural sensing, signal processing and stimulation, pitched as a faster route to market than designing custom silicon.
MintNeuro spun out of Imperial College London in 2022 and is run by co-founder and CEO Dorian Haci. It has delivered working silicon to Motif Neurotech and Amber Therapeutics, and holds a multi-year supply agreement with Motif for a minimally invasive neurostimulator. The money goes to a product launch, pre-release silicon for partners and international expansion.
