Heat is what limits an AI chip: Malaysia's nanoSkunkWorkX raises $2M for graphene-copper films
Singapore's Tin Men Capital led the seed round — its first in a Malaysian startup — with Gobi Dana Impak and Kumpulan Modal Perdana. The films move heat more than twice as well as a copper baseline, with no equipment change.
Positive-sum angle: The company reached first revenue on under $1.5M of pre-seed. A hardware founder in Penang can read that as evidence the materials layer is fundable at a fraction of what a fab costs.
