funding

**Yes, we provide investor support services** to **help startups secure funding** — offering technical due diligence support (answer investor technical questions, validate feasibility, provide third-party assessment), investor presentation materials (technical slides with architecture diagrams, competitive analysis, technology roadmap), cost modeling and business case (detailed NRE and production costs, margin analysis, break-even analysis, sensitivity analysis), and introductions to semiconductor-focused VCs and angel investors in our network (warm introductions, pitch coaching, term sheet review). Our investor support includes feasibility assessment and validation (confirm technical approach is sound, identify risks and mitigation, validate performance claims, assess team capability), market analysis and competitive positioning (TAM/SAM/SOM analysis, competitive landscape, differentiation, barriers to entry), technology roadmap and scaling plan (path from prototype to volume production, technology evolution, manufacturing strategy, supply chain), and financial projections and unit economics (cost per chip at various volumes, gross margins, capital requirements, cash flow projections). We've helped 200+ startups raise $2B+ in funding with our support including Series A raises ($5M-$15M typical for chip startups, 12-18 month runway), Series B raises ($15M-$50M typical for production ramp, 18-24 month runway), strategic investments from semiconductor companies (Intel Capital, Qualcomm Ventures, Samsung Ventures, Applied Ventures), and government grants (SBIR Phase I $250K, SBIR Phase II $1M-$2M, state programs, R&D tax credits). Investor introductions include warm introductions to 50+ semiconductor-focused VCs (Walden Catalyst, Eclipse Ventures, Intel Capital, Qualcomm Ventures, Samsung Ventures, Applied Ventures, Lam Capital, KLA Ventures, TSMC Ventures), angel investors with semiconductor expertise (former executives from Intel, AMD, NVIDIA, Qualcomm, Broadcom), corporate venture arms (strategic investors with industry expertise and customer relationships), and strategic partners for joint development (foundries, IP vendors, equipment companies, system OEMs). Our credibility helps startups by providing third-party validation of technology (independent assessment from experienced team), demonstrating experienced partner for execution (reduce execution risk, proven track record), showing clear path to production (manufacturing strategy, cost model, supply chain), and reducing technical risk for investors (de-risk technology, validate feasibility, confirm team capability). We do NOT take equity for introductions (unlike some advisors who take 1-5% equity), do NOT charge for basic investor support (included in startup program, part of customer relationship), do NOT require exclusive relationships (you can work with other partners), and do NOT participate in investment decisions (we provide technical input, investors make decisions) — our goal is startup success leading to production business with us, creating win-win alignment where we succeed when our customers succeed through funding, product development, and market success. Investor support services include pitch deck review and feedback (technical content, market sizing, competitive analysis, financial projections), technical due diligence support (answer investor questions, provide documentation, facility tours), cost and timeline validation (validate your projections, provide independent assessment), investor introductions and warm handoffs (introduce to relevant investors, provide context and recommendation), term sheet review and negotiation support (technical aspects of terms, milestone definitions, IP provisions), and ongoing advisory through funding process (monthly check-ins, answer questions, provide guidance).
