Mueon Launches from Stealth with $15.5 Mn Seed Round to Redefine AI Data Centres

Portland, Oregon – September 17, 2025 – Mueon, a Portland-based semiconductor systems startup, has emerged from stealth with $15.5 million in seed funding and the debut of its Cubelets—modular, stackable units designed to transform how data centers manage compute, memory, power, and thermals.

Mueon will use the funds to accelerate prototypes, scale systems, and expand its engineering team, targeting AI inference and training workloads constrained by today’s rack-based designs.

Mueon’s Cubelets offer a radical redesign. By tightly integrating compute, memory, power delivery, and thermal management, they promise up to 10x gains in density, energy efficiency, and deployment speed, while remaining compatible with existing AI and cloud software.

“Mueon was founded to rethink the system building blocks of the data center from the ground up,” said Wilfred Gomes, co-founder and CEO of Mueon. “Cubelets give our partners a new unit of compute… delivering efficiency and cost savings that today’s data centers urgently need.”

The round was led by Intel Capital, with participation from Geodesic Alliance Fund and Oregon Venture Fund. Intel Capital’s Managing Director Srini Ananth will also join Mueon’s board.

“The Mueon team is reimagining data center design at the fundamental level,” added Srini Ananth. “Their modular approach offers customers a practical path to scale AI systems with better economics and sustainability.”

Industry experts echoed the impact. Sudeep Bhoja of d-Matrix said Cubelets enable “a new class of smaller, denser infrastructure tailored for AI workloads,” while UCLA professor Subramanian Iyer noted they could make the “memory wall” a relic of the past.
