H2LooP, a Bengaluru-based deeptech startup, has raised $2 million (approximately ₹18.6 crore) in a seed funding round co-led by Speciale Invest and 3one4 Capital.
The funding will help the company expand its AI-driven solutions into high-complexity industries such as data centres, UAVs, and robotics.
Funding to Accelerate DeepTech Expansion
H2LooP plans to utilise the fresh capital to:
- Enter high-performance sectors like aerospace, robotics, and semiconductors
- Enhance its AI-native development tools
- Strengthen real-time performance and reliability capabilities
These sectors demand precision, data control, and safety compliance, making them ideal for H2LooP’s specialized AI solutions.
Building AI for Embedded Systems
Founded in May 2025 by Sairanjan Mishra and Pulkit Agrawal, H2LooP focuses on developing AI-powered tools for embedded systems and hardware engineering.
The startup specializes in:
- AI-native coding assistants
- Small Language Models (SLMs) for firmware and drivers
- Hardware-aware debugging tools
Its solutions are designed specifically for low-level systems engineering, where traditional AI tools often fall short.
Bridging the Hardware-Software Gap
One of H2LooP’s core innovations lies in bridging the gap between hardware engineering and software development.
Its platform understands:
- Hardware constraints and system architecture
- Safety and compliance standards
- Complex embedded codebases
This enables developers to build, debug, and deploy embedded software more efficiently.
Focus on Security and Industry-Specific Use Cases
H2LooP offers domain-specific AI models for C/C++ embedded programming, which can operate in:
- Secure environments
- Air-gapped systems
This is particularly important for industries such as:
- Defence
- Semiconductor manufacturing
- Telecommunications
…where data privacy and intellectual property protection are critical.
Real-World Applications and Deployments
The startup is already working with:
- Semiconductor companies
- Defence organisations
- Telecom firms
Its platform delivers capabilities such as:
- Firmware and crash log analysis
- Automated debugging
- Conversion of technical documents into training data
These features help reduce development time and improve system reliability.
Competing in the AI Developer Tools Market
H2LooP aims to redefine the developer tools ecosystem by offering specialized solutions tailored for embedded systems, positioning itself as an alternative to platforms like GitHub Copilot.
Unlike general-purpose AI tools, H2LooP focuses on deep, domain-specific intelligence for hardware-driven environments.
Industry Outlook
The demand for AI-powered development tools in deeptech sectors is growing rapidly, driven by advancements in:
- Autonomous systems
- Robotics
- Semiconductor technologies
- Aerospace engineering
Startups like H2LooP are playing a critical role in enabling faster, safer, and more efficient development cycles in these complex industries.
