About Teramount
Jerusalem developer of TeraVerse, a detachable self-aligning connector that attaches optical fiber to silicon photonics chips in co-packaged optics systems, using its PhotonicPlug and PhotonicBump technology. It raised $50 million in July 2025 in a round led by Koch Disruptive Technologies with AMD Ventures, Hitachi Ventures, Samsung Catalyst Fund and Wistron. Tower Semiconductor and GlobalFoundries are listed partners.
Teramount was founded in 2013 and is based in Jerusalem, Israel. It is listed under Interconnect & Networking, Photonic Computing. Reported funding is $50M, Jul 2025.

What Teramount works on
Interconnect & Networking
Interconnect is the set of links that move data between chips, between boards and between racks. It includes wires on a package, cables inside a server, and the network switches and optical fibre across a data center. A processor is only as useful as the speed at which it can get data in and out.
Photonic Computing
Photonic computing uses light instead of electricity to carry or process information. Photons have no charge, so light in a waveguide does not cause the resistive heating that current in a wire does, though lasers and modulators still use power, and many wavelengths can share one waveguide. The industry has two quite different parts: moving data with light, and computing with light.
