PicoJool

What we have established three decisions, kept apart

1. 1 Identity verified Yes

   Published in the index on >=2 sourced evidence families, including a funding source that names the company and its round at https://siliconangle.com/2026/09/24/pat-gelsinger-backed-startup-picojool-raises-27-5m-to-boost-bandwidth-for-ai-clusters/. Identity rests on that source, not on the name alone.
2. 2 Evidence sufficient to publish Yes

   The inclusion bar: two or more independent sourced evidence families. This profile is published and listed. It is a statement about how much evidence we hold, and about nothing else.

3. 3 Fit for a seed/Series-A sourcing buyer Qualified

   Institutional venture backing and a stage band inside seed..Series A are both evidenced below.

   (a) VENTURE BACKING EVIDENCED: named lead investor(s) ["Socratic Partners"] in a reported round, held with its source. (b) STAGE BAND: latest covered event resolves to series_a, inside seed..Series A. Latest round resolved by the projection is series_a; no unlabelled event (e.g. a later Form D) is held that could supersede it. WHAT THIS VERDICT DOES NOT SAY: that we found the round first, or that the company is raising now. It rests on evidence already held in the index; the source_url is cited for a reader to check.

   Venture backing: evidenced · Stage band: series_a — stated by the held funding source (https://siliconangle.com/2026/09/24/pat-gelsinger-backed-startup-picojool-raises-27-5m-to-boost-bandwidth-for-ai-clusters/), announced 2026-09-24

   • siliconangle.com ↗ — Reported round: stage="series_a", amount=n/a, announced 2026-09-24.

   What would overturn this:

   Assessed 2026-10-24 for seed/Series-A sourcing.
