Sheppard advised nEye.ai, a pioneer in integrated optical
interconnects, in its $80 million Series C financing led by Sutter
Hill Ventures and participation from existing investors including
Alphabet’s independent growth fund, CapitalG;
Microsoft’s Venture Fund, M12; and Socratic Partners, among
others. As part of the financing, Sutter Hill Ventures’
managing director Stefan Dyckerhoff will join nEye’s board of
directors.
This round of capital brings nEye’s total funding to $152
million and will help accelerate the development and high-volume
manufacturing of nEye’s proprietary Optical Circuit Switches
(OCS). nEye’s OCS technology introduces compact,
fast-switching optical layers that allow for the flexible pooling
of CPU, GPU and memory resources, ensuring data center
architectures can evolve alongside rapidly advancing AI models.
The Sheppard deal team was led by Stephanie Zeppa and included
Autumn Schmidt and Kylie Arman.
