Funding Round
Paradromics raises $20M Series A for high-bandwidth cortical BCI speech restoration

Summary
Austin-based Paradromics secured $20M Series A led by Prime Movers Lab, with DCVC, True Ventures, and New Enterprise Associates. The Connexus direct data interface targets patients with ALS and locked-in syndrome who have lost all communication ability. Paradromics' approach to high-density cortical recording aims to decode natural speech at rates faster than existing BCI systems.
Why it matters
Prime Movers Lab specifically funds companies targeting decade-scale problems. Their BCI thesis centers on Paradromics' data rate advantage — more electrodes mean richer neural signal for decoding — which could matter enormously for natural speech restoration quality.
