Exclusive: Element Labs raises funds at $4b valuation
Atreides Management was one of the fist investors in SpaceX, and the connection Is not coincidental: Xsight Labs provides network processors to SpaceX, more precisely the X2 Switch, which competes with Nvidia-Mellanox’s BlueField data processing units. The timing of the announcement of the raise is also not coincidental: it comes a week after a successful joint trial of Xsight processors with SpaceX. The processors were incorporated into SpaceX’s new satellite, the V3. Xsight’s X2 is fully programmable by the customer. This flexibility makes it suitable for use in space, where breakdowns occur that make control of the software a necessity.
Xsight says that the new capital ” will accelerate the multi-generational switch and DPU roadmap, including support for emerging Ultra Ethernet Consortium (UEC) standards; grow engineering and customer support teams across the US, Israel, Europe, and Asia to support this rapid expansion; and scale manufacturing, supply chain, and customer delivery operations to fulfill high-volume Tier-1 customer orders.”
