VectorWave Raises $2.5M to Redefine the Potential of the Electromagnetic Spectrum

BOSTON, June 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- VectorWave Corporation today announced $2.5M in seed funding led by prominent dual use investor, J2 Ventures (www.j2vp.com) and Coalition Ventures (www.coalition.ventures). VectorWave was founded in 2024 by Dr. Ronald Davis to commercialize analog computing architectures he developed during his doctoral program at MIT and work at the U.S Army Research Laboratory. VectorWave's novel approach promises to unlock massive gains in spectrum utilization while also creating new spectrum access in congested and contested environments. 

Dr. Davis' work was published in Science Advances
(https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adt3558), introducing the world's first hardware accelerator that performed AI inference on raw radio frequency signals without pre-processing or digitization. This AI hardware accelerator, called MAFT-ONN (Multiplicative Analog Frequency Transform Optical Neural Network), exploits the physics of analog components to implement a number of fully-programmable signal processing functionalities. Among other capabilities, MAFT-ONN demonstrated signal classification of RF modulations schemes with 120 nanosecond time-of-flight latency and 85% single-shot accuracy that can quickly converge to 99%. 

VectorWave is also led by founding advisor Dr. Charles Dietlein who has 15 years of federal government leadership in electromagnetics R&D and spectrum management, and co-founder Tom Hennessey who has joined concurrent with this round of funding to support company growth and commercialization efforts.
