Calligo Technologies Raises USD 1.1 Mn from Seafund and Artha Venture Fund

Bengaluru-based semiconductor startup Calligo Technologies has raised USD 1.1 million in a pre-Series A round co-led by Seafund and Artha Venture Fund. The fresh capital will be directed toward R&D for ver2.0 of its POSIT-based silicon chip, expanding its engineering team, and building strategic partnerships with OEMs, ODMs, and system integrators.

Founded in 2012 by Anantha Kinnal, Rajaraman Subramanian, and Vinay N. Hebbali, CalligoTech develops hardware and software solutions for High Performance Computing (HPC), Big Data, and AI/ML workloads. The company has already achieved a milestone with its ver1.0 chip and is now gearing up for tape-out of its next-gen System-on-Chip.

"CalligoTech chips improve performance and reduce power consumption with their innovative approach," said Narendra Bhandari, General Partner at Seafund. "They've proven their capability by completing the full chip cycle with v1.0 and are on track for the next breakthrough."

CalligoTech's core innovation lies in POSIT, a revolutionary real-number representation that boosts accuracy, efficiency, and dynamic range in computing. Its TUNGA accelerator board, powered by an Octacore RISC-V CPU, integrates with X86/ARM/PowerPC servers—making it a plug-and-play solution for modern compute-heavy workloads.

With a vision to redefine computing standards, CalligoTech is poised for global expansion.
