proteanTecs is a technology company, specializing in deep data analytics. It develops predictive and preventative monitoring solutions for electronics throughout their lifecycle, from chip manufacturing to deployment.

Among proteanTecs' early investors is Intel’s current CEO Lip-Bu Tan, who also serves on the company’s board of directors.[1]

History

[edit]

proteanTecs was founded by Shai Cohen, Evelyn Landman, Eyal Fayneh, Roni Ashuri, Yahel David, Yuval Bonen in May 2017 in Haifa, Israel.[2] The company publicly launched on April 1, 2019.[3][4] On August 27, 2020, it secured $45 million in funding, led by Koch Disruptive Technologies (KDT) and joined by Lip-Bu Tan, former CEO of Cadence and Intel board member.[5] In September 2020, proteanTecs was granted a U.S. patent for monitoring High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) signals, one of a number of patents held.[6]

In March 2021, the company joined the TSMC IP Alliance Program.[7][8] By September 23, 2021, it raised another $50 million, bringing total funding to $150 million, with investors like Porsche Automobil Holding SE, MediaTek, and Advantest.[9][10] In October, proteanTecs received the TSMC OIP Partner of the Year Award for its contributions to the semiconductor industry.[11] In November, proteanTecs began supporting advanced 3 nm semiconductor technology and,[12] in December, received an award from Frost & Sullivan for Best Electronics Health Monitoring Technology.[13][14]

In 2022, the company continued expanding, securing $45 million more in May, bringing total investments close to $200 million.[15][16] In August, proteanTecs added Autotalks as a customer, providing analytics for 5G chipsets.[17] In December, it was named "Most Promising Startup in Israel" by the Globes newspaper.[18] Around the same time, proteanTecs partnered with PEZY Computing in Japan to monitor next-gen supercomputer processors.[19]

In early 2023, proteanTecs partnered with HARMAN to enhance automotive maintenance.[20][21]

In March, the company joined the Intel Foundry Services Alliance and began working with BAE Systems to improve defense supply chains.[22][23] By May, proteanTecs partnered with FuriosaAI in Korea to enhance AI chip performance.[24][25]

In July, proteanTecs partnered with Teradyne to integrate machine-learning telemetry for chip testing.[26][27]

In October, the company collaborated with ELES to improve automotive reliability testing, and Astera Labs became a customer, using proteanTecs for performance monitoring.[28] In November, proteanTecs won the "Overall Connected Vehicle Innovation of the Year" award at the AutoTech Breakthrough Awards.[29]

In January 2024, proteanTecs partnered with Alphawave Semi for custom silicon insights[30] and in February joined Arm’s Total Design alliance to monitor Arm-based chips.[31] In 2024 the company also launched new products, including power reduction applications, safety monitoring for automotive and RAS monitoring for data centers and AI computing.[32] In May, proteanTecs announced SAPEON, a global AI company from Korea, as a new customer to enhance AI accelerators with reliability monitoring.[33][34]
