NeoLogic raises $10M Series A to develop energy-efficient AI data center processors
Funding backs CMOS+ processors designed to ease AI’s growing infrastructure burden.
Semiconductor startup NeoLogic has secured $10 million in Series A funding to advance the development of its server processors aimed at cutting the energy demands of AI data centers. The round was led by KOMPAS VC, with participation from M Ventures, Maniv Mobility, and lool Ventures, bringing the company’s total funding to $18 million since its founding in 2021 by Dr. Avi Messica (CEO) and Ziv Leshem (CTO).
The company’s proprietary CMOS+ technology is designed to reduce data center energy consumption by up to 30% compared to equivalent state-of-the-art processors, according to NeoLogic. The approach simplifies the underlying logic of a microprocessor, reducing the number of logic gates and creating more power-efficient alternatives, while maintaining compatibility with existing CMOS manufacturing processes.
“As AI workloads continue to grow exponentially, the industry urgently needs scalable, power-efficient solutions,” said Avi Messica, co-founder and CEO. “We’re committed to continuing to pioneer higher-performing, sustainable solutions for the AI data center.”
AI-driven computing is intensifying the strain on global data center infrastructure. Inference workloads in particular are forcing operators to accommodate as much as 5–10 times more power-hungry servers, pushing capital and operating expenses upward and adding to carbon emissions. The AI data center processor market is projected to reach $151 billion by 2029, spurring demand for designs that can deliver greater performance within tighter energy constraints.
NeoLogic is currently demonstrating its first product to a group of customers and plans to launch it commercially as early as 2026. The company intends to expand its engineering, sales, and marketing teams as it seeks partnerships with major cloud providers.
