Our global outreach is underway to find early-stage semiconductor startups to join our incubator.
Silicon Catalyst is the world's only incubator focused on semiconductor solutions, including MEMS, sensors and intellectual property. We accelerate startups from idea through prototype, and onto a path to volume production.
The startups admitted since 2015 are developing innovative solutions in a variety of areas including energy harvesting, wearables, silicon photonics, memory technology, loT, high performance computing, artificial intelligence, machine learning, wireless communications, and biomedical devices.
The Silicon Catalyst incubator utilizes our coalition of in-kind and strategic partners to dramatically reduce the cost and complexity of developing semiconductor solutions. With our world-class network of mentors to advise startups, we are addressing their many challenges in moving from idea to realization and business success. We have provided our Portfolio Companies with a path to funding, free access to tools, testing and shuttle runs, along with advice on proper corporate governance and strategic execution.
