Continium Welcomes United Founders as a New Investor

November 9, 2026 -- Continium is pleased to announce that United Founders VC has joined our latest investment round. The new capital will support the next key phase of our journey, taking our high-speed data converter technology from design to silicon. The funding will cover chip fabrication, laboratory testing, and the ramp-up of first deliveries to customers in the defense and telecommunications sectors.

Building a European alternative

Europe still relies heavily on U.S. and Asian suppliers for critical semiconductor components. As European defense spending grows and the industry prepares for 6G networks around 2030, the need for trusted European suppliers has never been greater. Continium’s product goal reflects not only our commitment to strengthening Europe’s semiconductor sovereignty but also our ambition to outperforms current solutions in signal accuracy and power consumption.

“Europe is investing billions of euros in defense, semiconductors, and next-generation networks, yet in many critical chip technologies it remains dependent on foreign suppliers. For us, Continium is exactly the type of deep tech investment we look for: an exceptionally demanding technology, a strong team, and a global market where a European company can gain a strategic position,” said Václav Pavlečka, Managing Partner at United Founders VC.

About Continium Technologies

Continium Technologies is a fabless chip design company creating proprietary design of high-performance data converters for wireless and defense applications. We provide the solution to the data throughput limitations and performance-power-price tradeoff. Our founders created the first commercially available converter in a unique design architecture called Continuous-Time Sigma-Delta (CTSD), giving us unmatched experience globally. CTSD ADC provides maximum bandwidth with the highest signal quality at the lowest power consumption and the lowest form factor. Our CTSD architecture provides an inherent anti-alias filter, removing the need for external analog filters. We specialize in high-performance chips that are compact, energy-efficient, and designed to provide high precision at high speeds. We combine this expertise with a deep understanding of the entire chip development process — from design and manufacturing to testing and integration.
