Excited to co-host a small, invitation-only gathering this weekend with the General Association of Zhejiang Entrepreneurs USA and CASPA (Chinese American Semiconductor Professional Association), focused on optical communication, high-speed interconnect, and AI infrastructure.
At xNova VC, we’ve been spending time looking into the “invisible layers” powering AI. As workloads scale rapidly, data center bottlenecks are increasingly shifting toward connectivity and bandwidth—making optical interconnect a critical part of next-generation systems.
This closed-door session brings together a curated group of practitioners, researchers, industry leaders, and investors to share frontline insights, explore emerging trends, and connect across the ecosystem.
