Bengaluru fabless startup BigEndian raises 6M after taping out its first commercial chip

A chip already taped out changes the usual startup timeline

Bengaluru fabless semiconductor startup BigEndian has raised $6 million in pre-Series A funding led by IAN Alpha Fund. The company says it has completed tape-out of its first commercial SoC, cutting major execution risk in moving from design to manufacturing. Funds will support SoC commercialization, product engineering, and deeper partnerships across foundries, IP and OEMs, targeting secure edge and Vision AI architectures.
