Applied Brain Research closes seed round led by Two Small Fish Ventures

The undisclosed financing follows the release of ABR’s first TSP1 chip and will support commercialization of its edge voice-AI technology.

Two Small Fish Ventures led the round, and co-founder Eva Lau joined Applied Brain Research’s board. The January 12 announcement did not disclose the investment amount.

The financing follows the release of TSP1, the company’s first accelerator chip built around state-space models. ABR plans to advance both silicon and software commercialization, targeting device makers that need voice processing within local power and latency limits. The company cited interest around CES from applications including wearables, robotics, automotive and medical devices.
