Summary

Zettlab is building AI-enabled NAS hardware that combines storage, local computing, and AI processing on the edge.

The company has already drawn strong market validation through Kickstarter, where it raised more than $1.4 million. It also completed a third financing round with backing from Xinglian Capital, Vertex Ventures, and Fengqiao Capital.
