Vinci raises $36 million Series A for AI-powered hardware simulation

Xora leads the round, with Khosla Ventures and Eclipse participating.

Vinci disclosed a $36 million Series A on December 2, 2025, led by Xora, with participation from Khosla Ventures and Eclipse. The financing brought its combined Seed and Series A funding to $46 million. Eclipse had led the earlier Seed round.

The Palo Alto company develops AI-powered simulation software for chip and hardware engineers, starting with heat analysis. It emerged from stealth alongside the funding announcement, describing a platform designed to run high-resolution simulations without training on customers’ proprietary data. Vinci said its software was already being deployed at leading semiconductor manufacturers.
