Resonac Invests in Matter Venture Partners Fund II as a Strategic Limited Partner

Matter VP is a U.S.-based venture capital firm investing in early-stage startups globally across next-generation semiconductors, robotics, AI infrastructure, on-body AI, quantum computing, advanced manufacturing and energy. Wen Hsieh, Managing Partner of Matter VP, has built a distinguished career in top-tier venture capital, having served as a General Partner at Kleiner Perkins, one of the top-tier venture capital firms in the U.S. Matter VP’s team has not only a compelling investment track record, but also deep expertise spanning engineering, computer science, the physical and life sciences, and company building. Matter VP’s limited partners include a diverse range of investors, such as semiconductor industry players including Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), as well as university endowments and family offices.

In today’s technology-driven market such as semiconductors and Physical AI, where a growing number of startups are pursuing growth in an increasingly competitive landscape, it is challenging for a materials supplier to independently cover all potential R&D domains. Moreover, given that the U.S. is at the forefront of the global AI revolution, establishing a presence within the U.S. technology ecosystem is strategically essential. This context underpins Resonac’s decision to make this investment.

In the U.S., Resonac launched US-JOINT, an R&D consortium for next-generation semiconductor packaging, in July 2024 and officially commenced operations in April 2026. Building on its investment in Matter VP, Resonac will further accelerate innovation through collaboration across the U.S. technology ecosystem.
