About

Akhetonics is building the RPU, the first Reasoning Processing Unit — an all-optical general-purpose processor that keeps data entirely in the optical domain from input to output. Based in Berlin, Germany, the deep-tech startup is developing an all-optical digital processor using near-latency-free optical memory and THz-speed switching to deliver extreme single-threaded performance for AI reasoning, verification, and optimization workloads that today's electronic chips cannot handle, built entirely on a sovereign European supply chain.

Summary

Akhetonics is a Deep Tech company based in Berlin, Germany, founded in 2021. It has raised $8.6M in total across 3 rounds, most recently a $6.3M Seed round in Nov 2024. Investors include Matterwave Ventures, Rheingau Founders and Runa Capital.
