: Discovered Materials announced the completion of a $9 million seed funding round, with participation from Lightspeed India Partners, Peak XV Partners, and several angel investors. The company combines AI agents with physical models to screen new heat-dissipating materials for chips at scale, targeting the high heat generation and high energy consumption challenges of AI chips in data centers.
