“Too small to see, too bright to ignore.” — 4K-MEMS
We’re excited to launch our new fundraising project for 4K MEMS, a Switzerland-based deep-tech startup. 4K-MEMS is developing unique NIR emission devices, a breakthrough technology that enables new paradigms in personalized sensing. 4K-MEMS designed compact, powerful light sources which can be seamlessly integrated into next-generation platforms, unlocking applications across health, consumer electronics, and beyond.
TD Shepherd is supporting the 4K-MEMS team in their seed round fundraising and wishes them success in accelerating high-performance sensing.

Semiconductor innovation requires navigating a complex maze of high costs, lengthy development and qualification paths, detailed technical specifications, and, of course, the right market timing. For startups that seek to lead in their space, external expertise isn’t just helpful; it is almost always essential.
We are excited to announce TD Shepherd as a partner of High-Tech Venture Days 2025 (HTVD25). HTVD is a matchmaking event that brings together three main groups: startups, investors (especially venture capital firms, corporate venture arms, etc.), and established companies (corporates).
Generating infrared light isn’t difficult. But generating it on a chip — reliably, efficiently, and compactly — is a different story. Traditional IR sources rely on heating elements. They radiate across a wide range of wavelengths, consume significant power, and require filters to isolate the signals. Manageable in labs, unworkable in wearables.
