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 has not been disclosed, the funding marks a significant milestone for the company.
The sole investor in this round is Cambrian Fund, a venture capital fund focused on Industrial 4.0 themes. This investment represents Cambrian Fund’s inaugural deal. Managed by Southern Capital Group, Cambrian Fund’s anchor investors include Khazanah Nasional through its Dana Impak fund and the co-founders of ViTrox Corp Bhd.
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 startup develops advanced AOI solutions that are critical for ensuring high precision, improving quality, and increasing efficiency in the outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) and electronics manufacturing services (EMS) sectors.
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 designed to support high-speed industrial applications, setting new standards in machine vision technology.
Beyond the semiconductor sector, Nvsion is exploring opportunities to extend its platform into other advanced manufacturing industries where precision and throughput are paramount. These sectors include advanced electronics, automotive, and medical devices.
“Securing this first round of funding is a defining moment for Nvsion,” said Jeffrey Chung. “We are honored to welcome Cambrian Fund as our first investor. Their backing not only validates our vision and technology but also provides us with access to world-class expertise and networks. With their support, we are confident in our ability to drive innovation, expand our world-class customer base, and contribute to Malaysia’s emergence as a leader in advanced manufacturing.”
The funding will be utilized to accelerate product development and rollout, attract top-tier talent, and expand Nvsion’s customer base.
Kenneth Tan, CEO of Southern Capital Group and manager of Cambrian Fund, shared his enthusiasm for the partnership: “We launched Cambrian Fund to back visionary founders building the next generation of global technology leaders. We are proud and excited to partner with Jeffrey and his team. Nvsion’s advanced, software-first approach to machine vision is poised to make a significant impact in a critical and rapidly growing segment of the Industrial 4.0 landscape. We believe in their potential to scale and become a market leader, and we look forward to supporting them on their transformative journey.”
