London-based deep tech startup Embedd has raised $2.7 million in a pre-seed funding round led by Seedcamp, with participation from Cocoa, Connect Ventures, 2100 Ventures, Vesna Capital, U.ventures, Underline Ventures, Common Magic, and Roosh Ventures, as Vestbee was told.
- Founded by Michael Lazarenko, Maxim Gorinov, and Valentin Gololobov, Embedd develops software infrastructure for physical AI, helping semiconductor companies integrate chips into software ecosystems faster.
- The startup’s platform uses digital twins and AI agents to automate chip integration and generate the code needed to make hardware usable by software.
- Embedd says its technology has enabled customers to deliver production-ready software for chips up to six times faster than current approaches.
- Embedd launched commercially in April 2026 and has already signed contracts with multiple semiconductor companies, including Microchip Technology, where it is enabling support for the Zephyr software ecosystem.
Details of the deal
- With the fresh capital, the company aims to further develop its platform and expand its partnerships with semiconductor companies, helping more chipmakers integrate their devices into emerging software ecosystems.
“The next wave of AI will power factories, vehicles, robots and critical infrastructure, but today, every change in hardware creates huge complexity for software teams and that friction is already massively slowing innovation. We built Embedd to address exactly that, and we’re thrilled to have the backing of Seedcamp as we scale," explains Michael Lazarenko, co-founder and CEO of Embedd.
