MIT Spinout Debuts Next Wave of Vertical GAN Transistors to Power AI Chips in Data Centers
Voxus worked with founding team and investors to launch company out of stealth and announce $11M in seed funding.
Vertical Semiconductor engaged with Voxus to debuts its groundbreaking vertical GaN power conversion technology, which is designed to dramatically reduce heat, shrink the footprint of power systems, and lower energy costs in AI infrastructure. Part of this launch included the company announcing $11M in seed funding. Our team collaborated on company and product messaging, secured introductory analyst feedback meetings, media trained the founders, and pitched and secured top tier business, funding and AI media coverage –– all in less than two months.
Highlights
- Secured a first-run exclusive with Reuters.
- Landed 52 unique articles, with 187 total media mentions (and an additional 191 press release syndications).
- Key coverage includedL SiliconANGLE, Semiconductor Today, StrictlyVC, SemiEngineering, DataCenterDynamics, Compound Semiconductor and more.
- Conducted 6 analyst pre-briefs with More Than Moore, SemiAnalysis, Creative Strategies, Forrester Research, Gartner Research and Uptime Intelligence.


Vertical Semiconductor is reinventing power conversion for modern computing infrastructure. Spun out of MIT and backed by Playground Global, the company has developed a scalable transistor platform that enables direct, high-efficiency power conversion – cutting energy loss, reducing heat, and unlocking new performance in AI data centers. As power delivery becomes a critical bottleneck at scale, Vertical is building the foundational electrical layer for the next era of compute.
