AI Chipmaker Rebellions Raises US$22.8M Series A Expansion

The South Korean developer plans to use the expansion to mass-produce ATOM, its second AI chip prototype.

Rebellions, a South Korean AI chipmaker, raised US$22.8M as an expansion to Series A funding led by KT, a telecommunications giant in the region. The funding round also included participation from Temasek’s Pavilion Capital, Korea Development Bank, SV Investment, Future Asset Capital, and Cacao ventures. 

As per a Rebellions spokesperson, the expansion would enable mass-production of the second AI chip prototype ATOM to be used by cloud platforms and data centers.
