Another Brain

Another Brain develops neuromorphic processing chips designed to mimic the human brain's sensory cortex. The firm's proprietary architecture enables continuous environmental monitoring at sub-milliwatt power levels, making it suited for always-on devices like smart sensors, wearables, and industrial IoT endpoints. Their second-generation silicon was demonstrated in 2023.

Another Brain operates at the intersection of intellectual property and venture capital. It typically invests equity into early-stage deep-tech startups while providing access to its neuromorphic chip designs and engineering expertise. This hybrid approach reduces portfolio companies' R&D timelines by allowing them to build products on pre-validated hardware platforms.

The firm concentrates on seed through Series A-stage deep-tech ventures. Its investments focus on startups where hardware differentiation provides a moat, particularly companies commercializing edge AI, autonomous perception systems, and specialized semiconductor applications.

Daegu hosts several national research institutes and the Daegu-Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology, providing access to semiconductor engineering talent outside Seoul's competitive hiring market. The region's industrial base in electronics manufacturing also offers close proximity to fabrication and testing partners.

Yes. Another Brain maintains an IP licensing program that allows external semiconductor manufacturers to integrate its neuromorphic processor designs into their own chip products. This licensing revenue stream supplements the firm's venture returns and extends its technology adoption beyond its direct portfolio.
