## About

Based in the United States, nEye Systems, Inc. operates as a B2B AI infrastructure and semiconductor solutions developer. The company provides optical circuit switches, silicon photonics chips, and data center connectivity solutions.

Based in Berkley, US, and founded in 2020, nEye Systems, Inc. operates as an electronic company that develops and manufactures silicon photonic MEMS switches, which are used in different applications, including telecommunications, data centers, and optical computing. In April 2026, nEye Systems, Inc. raised USD 80 million in series A funding led by Sutter Hill Ventures, with participation from M12, CapitalG, and Socratic Ventures. 

The company works with hyperscale data centers, cloud providers, and enterprise customers to provide optical interconnect and silicon photonics-based switching solutions. Its flagship product, SuperSwitch, is a MEMS-based optical circuit switch that enables direct optical communication among thousands of GPUs and memory units, reducing latency and improving efficiency. The company develops wafer-scale optical switching platforms integrating silicon photonics, MEMS, and CMOS technologies to deliver high-bandwidth, low-power connectivity. Its engineering and research teams focus on photonics, chip design, and AI infrastructure optimization to serve high-performance computing, AI, and machine learning workloads.

The company’s revenue is generated by developing and commercializing optical switching hardware and semiconductor solutions for data center and AI infrastructure operators. It operates a B2B model where hyperscale and enterprise customers procure optical interconnect systems and chips for integration into computing environments. Revenue is also derived from partnerships with technology companies and infrastructure providers seeking to deploy advanced photonics-based networking solutions, enabling improved performance, scalability, and energy efficiency in AI-driven workloads.
