Circuit Mind raises $25M, including an $18.5M Series A led by Norwest, and launches AI schematic verification tool AVE

Wed, Oct 28 20:00 UTC+8

London-based Circuit Mind announced $25M in new financing: an $18.5M Series A led by Norwest, plus a previously unannounced seed round led by Third Prime, bringing total funding to $33.4M. It also launched AVE (Agentic Verification Engine), which uses AI agents to check PCB schematics against component datasheets and in-house design rules. Funds go to platform expansion and a US headquarters.

Why it matters

Agentic AI is moving from software into hardware design review; Circuit Mind says pairing agents with a physics-based engine keeps designs accurate (company claim).
