Vinci4D raises $250M for physics AI models in chip design

Vinci4D has closed a $250 million Series B at a $1.5 billion valuation. The startup offers pretrained physics-based models that accelerate simulations and solve multiple physical phenomena at once, replacing traditional finite element analysis.

• $250M Series B at a $1.5B valuation
• Co-led by Advent International, Temasek and Xora
• Models trained on physics equations, not customer data
• Plans to expand beyond semiconductors into automotive and aerospace
