Minysa’s GaN chip funding points to Europe’s quiet power-electronics layer
Minysa secured €163K from Venture Kick for gallium nitride control chips, showing how power electronics remains a small but strategic layer in deeptech infrastructure.
Some deeptech stories are tiny in funding size but still interesting in what they point to. Minysa’s funding is one of those quiet infrastructure signals.
What happened
Swiss electronics startup Minysa secured €163K / CHF150K from Venture Kick to develop gallium nitride control chips.
The company is building GaN gate-driver integrated circuits for high-reliability power systems. These kinds of components can matter in robotics, satellites, industrial electronics and other systems where efficiency, heat performance and reliability are important.
Why it matters
The round is small, so this is not a major VC funding signal by itself.
But the product category is strategically relevant. Gallium nitride chips can improve power density and efficiency compared with older power-electronics approaches. That matters as more industries need compact, reliable and energy-efficient hardware.
The bigger picture
AI and robotics do not scale on software alone. They need better chips, power systems, sensors, connectivity and industrial components.
Minysa fits into that less glamorous but important layer of deeptech: the hardware infrastructure that makes advanced systems actually work in the physical world.
