Chip design startup C2i Semiconductors, travel agent 30 Sundays and Exoticamp secured early-stage funding, the companies said.  

Tech focussed early-stage investor Yali Capital, along with Lip-Bu Tan, an advisor to the venture capital firm and a semiconductor veteran, have co-invested in fabless chip design company C2i Semiconductors. 

With this, the compay has raised $4 million in the current funding round. 

Yali invests in deep tech ventures, including in segments such as chip design, robotics, genomics and smart manufacturing, in their early stages.   

Including C2i, Yali has already invested in three deep-tech startups and expects to complete one more investment by this December. 

AI-based travel agent 30 Sundays raised $770,000 in pre-seed funding, led by Infoedge Ventures, as the startup looks to scale the business with generative AI. 

The round also saw participation from First Cheque, Eximius, Misfits, and several angel investors, the company said. 

30 Sundays said the capital will be used to open more destinations, including the European market and long-haul trips, while strengthening its AI and data capabilities to scale its customer experience. 

The Gurugram-based company was founded by Kshitij Chaudhary, Sumit Mishra, Jaikishan Dulani, and Anuj Punjani.

Exoticamp

Campsite provider Exoticamp has secured Rs 7 crore ($829,671) in funding from The Times Of India's investment arm, helping the Chennai-based startup to expand its presence across the country.

The funding from Brand Capital comes more than a year after Exoticamp secured Rs 4 crore investment in October last year from a group of early-stage investors. 

The startup claims to have expanded across 13 states, operating 300 campsites. It was founded by Vijay Premnath and Swaminathan Subramanian.

"Exoticamp aims to further scale its operations, leveraging the extensive media reach that Brand Capital offers, which will strengthen its presence in the adventure and eco-tourism sector," the company said in a statement.
