Nvsion Sdn Bhd, a Malaysia-based deeptech startup specializing in AI-powered Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) solutions, has successfully completed a multi-million ringgit seed funding round. Although the exact amount remains undisclosed, the round was solely backed by Cambrian Fund, a venture capital fund focused on Industrial 4.0 themes. This investment marks Cambrian Fund’s inaugural funding activity.
Cambrian Fund is managed by Southern Capital Group and supported by anchor investors such as Khazanah Nasional, through its Dana Impak fund, and the co-founders of ViTrox Corp Bhd. With a strategic focus on the semiconductor sector, this funding will help accelerate Nvsion’s growth by advancing product development, expanding its customer base, and recruiting top-tier talent.
Founded in February 2025 by Managing Director Jeffrey Chung Wai Loong and three co-founders, Nvsion brings together 46 years of deep technical experience. The company develops advanced AOI solutions critical for ensuring high precision, enhancing quality, and increasing efficiency within the outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) and electronics manufacturing services (EMS) industries.
Beyond semiconductors, Nvsion envisions significant opportunities to extend its platform into other advanced manufacturing sectors where precision and throughput are vital. These sectors include advanced electronics, automotive, and medical devices.
At the heart of Nvsion’s innovation is its proprietary Synthia Vision AI Platform. This platform leverages a hybrid of artificial intelligence and rule-based algorithms tailored for high-speed industrial applications, setting it apart in the competitive landscape.
“Securing this first round of funding is a defining moment for Nvsion,” said Jeffrey Chung Wai Loong. “We are honored to welcome Cambrian Fund as our first investor. Their backing not only validates our vision and technology but also provides us access to world-class expertise and networks. With their support, we are confident in delivering greater innovation, expanding our world-class customer base, and contributing to Malaysia’s emergence as a leader in advanced manufacturing.”
The investment aligns perfectly with Cambrian Fund’s strategy to back technology companies in Southeast Asia led by exceptional founders with a clear path to market leadership.
“We launched Cambrian Fund to back visionary founders building the next generation of global technology leaders,” said Kenneth Tan, CEO of Southern Capital Group, the manager of Cambrian Fund. “We are proud and excited to partner with Jeffrey and his team. Nvsion’s advanced, software-first approach to machine vision is set to make a significant impact in a critical and rapidly growing part of the Industrial 4.0 landscape. We are confident in their potential to scale and become a market leader, and we look forward to supporting them on their transformative journey.”
