Point2 Technology Raises Series B Extension Led by NVIDIA’s NVentures to Accelerate AI Interconnect Deployment

Point2 Technology, a South Korean deep-tech startup co-founded by KAIST faculty and alumni, has closed a Series B extension round with participation from NVentures — NVIDIA’s strategic venture arm — alongside Maverick Silicon and UMC Capital. The new investment brings total Series B funding to $76 million (approximately KRW 112.1 billion), making Point2 Technology the first Korean company to receive a strategic investment from NVIDIA.

The company plans to use the proceeds to accelerate market penetration, scale engineering and systems teams, and advance the development and deployment of its Active RF Cable (ARC) platform, as well as its Near Package E (NPE) and Co-Packaged e-Tube™ (CPE) solutions for next-generation rack-scale computing.

As hyperscalers race to build larger and more densely connected XPU clusters, interconnect — not compute — is emerging as the dominant system bottleneck. Conventional copper solutions are approaching fundamental limits at high data rates, while optical interconnects introduce trade-offs in power consumption, cost, and system complexity.

Point2 Technology’s e-Tube™ platform addresses this gap with a patented RF signal architecture that transmits data through plastic waveguides, enabling a new class of ARC. Compared to copper cable, e-Tube delivers 10x the reach, 5x less weight, half the cable bulk, and comparable cost. Compared to optical interconnects, it consumes one-third the power, costs one-third as much, and achieves one-thousandth the latency — without the reliability concerns associated with laser failure.

The technology has earned Point2 Technology recognition as a 2026 BloombergNEF Pioneer in the category of sustainable and scalable data center infrastructure.

“As AI systems scale, interconnection becomes an increasingly binding constraint,” said Sean Park, CEO and co-founder of Point2 Technology. “The e-Tube platform takes a fundamentally different approach, using RF technology to deliver the reach, efficiency, and latency that next-generation scale-out architectures require.”

Hyunmin Bae, director of KAIST’s Startup Institute, added that the investment represents a milestone for university-originated deep tech. “This is a prime example of foundational technology developed at KAIST attracting investment from a global big-tech company,” he said. “We will continue to strengthen our support so that startups with outstanding technology can enter global markets quickly.”
