ZeroRISC Raises $10 Million for Open Source Silicon Security Solutions

ZeroRISC has raised $10 million in a new oversubscribed seed funding round that will fuel the adoption of its open source silicon security solutions.

The investment round, which brings the total raised by the company to $15 million, was led by Fontinalis Partners, with participation from Fundomo, Analog Devices co-founder Ray Stata, SemiAnalysis founder Dylan Patel, SBXi, Chelpis, Bond Street LLC, and angel investors.

ZeroRISC said the funding will help accelerate the commercial adoption of its production-grade open source silicon security solutions designed to address silicon supply chain integrity, device management and ownership control.

The company’s solutions are based on the OpenTitan open source silicon root of trust project. In fact, ZeroRISC was founded by members of the original OpenTitan team from Google, including Dominic Rizzo, who serves as CEO.
