Liminal, an Emeryville, CA-based battery manufacturing intelligence company, raised $17.5M in Series A2 funding.
The round was led by ArcTern Ventures, Northvolt and Ecosystem Integrity Fund, with participation from Chrysalix Venture Capital, Good Growth Capital, University of Tokyo Edge Capital Partners, Volta Energy Technologies, Impact Science Ventures, and Helios Climate Ventures. ArcTern Partner Mira Inbar will join Liminal’s Board of Directors.
The company intends to use the funds to scale its EchoStat inspection systems into factory-integrated solutions for global battery manufacturers, as well as to support product industrialization and manufacturing, team growth, and international expansion.
Led by CEO Andrew Hsieh, Liminal is a battery manufacturing intelligence provider that combines ultrasound technology with machine learning to deliver advanced insights that empower manufacturers. In 2022, the company launched its automated EchoStat platform — an in-line, high-speed ultrasound inspection solution engineered specifically for EV-grade batteries. The platform provides battery cell manufacturers and auto OEMs with insights allowing them to commercialize and reduce time to market.
Liminal was founded in 2015 by top technologists from Princeton University, who were part of the Cyclotron Road entrepreneurial fellowship program (now part of Activate).
