Frore Systems hit $1.64B unicorn on $143M Series D ($340M total) for its AirJet solid-state MEMS cooling chip that replaces fans in AI and consumer hardware.
Frore Systems is a semiconductor cooling company that has invented AirJet, the world's first solid-state active cooling chip for electronics. Founded in 2020 and headquartered in San Jose, California, Frore developed a fundamentally new approach to thermal management: silicon-based micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) that move air through ultrasonic vibration with no moving mechanical parts. This technology directly addresses one of the most persistent constraints in AI hardware and consumer electronics—how to remove heat from increasingly dense chips without fans, noise, or mechanical failure points.\n\nFrore's AirJet chips integrate directly into the PCB or device chassis and can be tiled to scale cooling capacity for different thermal envelopes. The technology is applicable across a wide range—from thin laptops and tablets that currently rely on passive cooling to edge AI inference hardware, autonomous vehicles, and data center accelerators. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang publicly encouraged Frore to expand into data center applications, a significant market signal. Frore's solid-state approach also offers advantages in reliability, acoustic performance, and form factor that conventional fan-based cooling cannot match.\n\nIn March 2026, Frore Systems closed a $143M Series D, bringing its total funding to $340M and pushing its valuation to $1.64B—joining the unicorn club. The round reflects growing investor confidence that thermal management will be a critical bottleneck as AI chip power densities continue to rise. With Jensen Huang's endorsement and a clear path into data center cooling, Frore is positioned to become a key infrastructure supplier for the next generation of AI hardware deployments.
$500M Series D at $11B valuation (Feb 2026) — largest voice AI funding round ever. $330M ARR; 1M+ developers using the API. Enterprise customers: Deutsche Telekom, Revolut, Meta, Salesforce. Voices in 32 languages; real-time cloning from 1 second of audio.
ElevenLabs was founded in 2022 by Piotr Dabkowski and Mati Staniszewski, two former Google and Palantir engineers who set out to break the language barrier using AI voice technology. The company specializes in AI-powered voice synthesis, cloning, and dubbing, enabling developers and enterprises to generate human-quality speech in over 30 languages. Its core technology combines deep learning models trained on massive speech datasets to produce natural-sounding voices indistinguishable from real humans.\n\nElevenLabs offers a suite of products including its flagship text-to-speech API, voice cloning tools, and an AI dubbing platform that localizes video content while preserving the speaker's original voice. Its products target a broad audience—from indie developers building audio apps to large enterprises deploying voice interfaces at scale. Key differentiators include ultra-low latency streaming synthesis, fine-grained voice customization, and a growing library of pre-built AI voices across accents and styles.\n\nElevenLabs has grown rapidly, surpassing $330M in annualized revenue and serving over 1 million developers. Enterprise clients include Deutsche Telekom, Spotify, and leading media companies. In February 2026, the company closed a $500M Series D at an $11B valuation, cementing its position as the market leader in AI voice. Its APIs power podcasts, audiobooks, video games, and customer service bots worldwide, making ElevenLabs the default infrastructure layer for AI-generated audio.
