Folio Photonics

“Small $8M raise, but notable as a hardware bet on physical data storage in an era of exploding AI data needs.”

“As AI training data volumes grow exponentially, cold storage infrastructure will face serious capacity and cost pressure, and physical optical storage could re-emerge as a viable alternative to tape and cloud cold storage.”

“Folio Photonics raised $8M. Optical data storage discs with high capacity and low-cost manufacturing.”
