Aura completes Series G funding round at $1.6bn valuation

Yahoo25-03-2025

Aura, an AI-powered safety platform, has completed its Series G funding round, raising $140m in equity and debt at a valuation of $1.6bn.
The financing round was led by Ten Eleven Ventures and Madrone Capital, with participation from new investor AT&T Ventures.
Existing investors Accel, Warburg Pincus, and General Catalyst also contributed.
The funding round, which initially closed in August 2024, marks Aura's first since its separation from Pango Group —now operating as Point Wild—executed through a tax-free spinoff.
Aura plans to use the funds to further develop its suite of intelligent safety features, with additional capabilities expected to be released later in 2025.
Commenting on the funding, Ten Eleven Ventures founder and general partner Alex Doll said: 'Aura's innovative and comprehensive approach to online digital health and safety clearly positions it as a leader in protecting families in our increasingly connected world.
At Ten Eleven Ventures, we quickly recognized the significant value that Aura's integrated, purpose-built suite of digital wellness products can provide to families, rather than just focusing on individuals or isolated devices.'
The Aura platform, powered by Aura Intelligence and AI, provides personalised insights and protection through an all-in-one service.
The platform offers a comprehensive suite of features, including device security, scam and fraud protection, child safety alerts, and identity theft protection.
These capabilities are orchestrated and automated by AI, providing personalised insights and protection through Aura Intelligence.
The company said it has experienced significant consumer demand, resulting in approximately 50% GAAP revenue growth year-over-year in 2024.
Aura founder and CEO Hari Ravichandran said: 'We are seeing tremendous momentum in the business and today's funding announcement will enable Aura to extend our leadership in AI-powered features that not only keep families safe but help them thrive in an increasingly connected world.'

Users can watch movies and shows from favorite apps or Safari, share photos with everyone in a room, or play music and podcasts on the projector and other AirPlay speakers. Powered by Epson's 3-chip 3LCD technology, the lineup ranges from 6,000- to 8,000-lumens,2 with options featuring Full HD WUXGA resolution and 4K Enhancement Technology3 for sharp, detailed images – even for up close viewing. Built for a variety of environments – classrooms and lecture halls, conference rooms, hybrid workspaces and more – these powerful projectors produce exceptionally vibrant, high-resolution images up to 500 inches in 16:10. Plus, they are capable of projecting in a variety of other aspect ratios, including ultra-wide 16:6 and 21:9 for enhanced content display and visibility. Previously only available in Epson's interchangeable lens lineup, the new projectors include robust installation tools such as NFC,4 advanced geometric correction and the optional PixAlign® camera for simplifying complex multi-projector installations such as screen matching, blending or stacking. They also offer powerful features, such as optical zoom, wide lens shift, geometric correction tools, and more for simple and seamless installation. With built-in wireless communication, users can monitor and control projector fleets remotely from a web browser using the Epson Projector Management Connected app, as well as enable advanced screen casting tools like Apple AirPlay, Epson iProjection™5 and Miracast®.5 "Customers are looking for more accessible ways to build complex multi-projector systems, and these latest PowerLite L models enable that.

Nordson Electronics Solutions Develops Panel-Level Packaging Solution for Powertech Technology, Inc. that Achieves Yields Greater than 99% for Underfilling During Semiconductor Manufacturing

The ASYMTEK Vantage® Dispensing system equipped with IntelliJet® Jetting system reduced underfill voids and decreased cycle time by almost 30%. CARLSBAD, Calif., June 11, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nordson Electronics Solutions, a global leader in reliable electronics manufacturing technologies, has developed several solutions for panel-level packaging (PLP) during semiconductor manufacturing. In one particular case, Nordson's customer, Powertech Technology, Inc. (PTI) saw underfill yields improve to greater than 99% as they plan to transition from wafers to panels in their manufacturing operations. For details about this solution developed in late 2024 and 2025, download the case study here: Customer Success: Powertech Technology Inc. (PTI) Advances Panel Level Packaging with Nordson. PTI, one of the world's top OSAT (Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test) companies, worked with the Nordson applications team to set up a comprehensive PLP demonstration that achieved high-quality, void-free underfill results at scale, using the industry-leading ASYMTEK Vantage® Series fluid dispensing system, equipped with the ASYMTEK IntelliJet® Jetting system. Nordson's precision technology mitigated warpage and optimized fluid flow while decreasing cycle time by almost 30%. PLP offers a path to managing the complexity of larger die sizes and higher-density designs while maintaining manufacturability and cost efficiency as the semiconductor industry transitions from 300-mm wafers to panels. PTI is enabling PLP applications that are designed to meet the semiconductor industry's growing demands to serve AI, high-performance computing (HPC), and chiplet-based architectures. Underfill has been pivotal in semiconductor packaging since the adoption of flip-chips in the 1990s. As applications have become more demanding, particularly in high-performance CPUs, GPUs, and advanced architectures like flip-chip and 2.5D/3D ICs, the importance of underfilling to enhance mechanical reliability and thermal performance has grown. Since the beginning, Nordson developed innovations for underfill processes as the industry evolved from PC board, substrate, wafer, and now panel applications. Nordson's distributor, Jetinn Global Equipment Ltd., supported the advancements discussed in this case study by investing in demonstration equipment and providing expert technical support.
