## About

Founded in 2021 and based in Berlin, Germany Akhetonics GmbH operates as a semiconductor company specializing in optical computing solutions. The company was founded by its CEO, Michael Kissner, and CTO Leonardo Del Bino. In November 2024, Akhetonics GmbH raised EUR 6 million in seed funding led by Matterwave Ventures.

Akhetonics specializes in the development of the all-optical XPU, a cross-domain processor designed for general-purpose, ultra-low-power, high-performance computing and artificial intelligence applications. This platform employs an all-optical control flow and integrates optical digital, analog, and quantum computing capabilities. The core product offering is centered around their all-optical XPU, which serves as the primary conductor managing the flow of information between memory modules, networks, and specialized optical resource function units (RFUs).

Revenue is generated through initial product sales and subsequent maintenance or upgrade services, catering primarily to enterprise clients looking to leverage advanced technology for their computing needs.

The company plans to utilize the funding raised in November 2024 to support its technological development.
