Silicon Catalyst Further Expands In-Kind Partner Ecosystem with Rescale & S2C

Silicon Valley, CA. - June 28, 2019 - Silicon Catalyst, the world’s only incubator focused exclusively on accelerating solutions in silicon, announces the addition of Rescale and S2C as the newest In-Kind Partner (IKP) members. Silicon Catalyst continues to work with key industry players to further develop a complete value chain that economically and effectively supports the semiconductor start-ups accepted in the incubator. These startups utilize free or deeply discounted design tools and silicon MPW/shuttle runs and gain access to a world-class network of advisors, networking, marketing acumen and a path to funding needed to successfully launch their businesses.

Specific offerings from these two new IKPs include:

  • Rescale: the leader in enterprise big compute in the cloud

  • S2C: rapid FPGA-based prototyping and automation software

“Rescale is proud to partner with Silicon Catalyst to help enable semiconductor startups to achieve success. We support Silicon Catalyst’s mission to foster new and innovative semiconductor companies who are building the future. The ability to leverage the cloud through Rescale’s turnkey platform allows engineers to more easily accelerate the chip design process at better cost,” stated Tyler Smith, Head of Partnerships at Rescale.

Toshio Nakama, CEO of S2C stated, “Getting silicon correct fast is critical for startups, from a cost point of view, and for rapid proof of new product concept. Prototyping silicon designs with FPGA Prototyping offers a much more affordable option for accelerated silicon design verification, and higher verification coverage, than other hardware verification technologies. Silicon Catalyst focuses exclusively on accelerating startup solutions in silicon and S2C views our joining their In-Kind Partner ecosystem as a good match with S2C’s value proposition. We look forward to contributing to the success of the Silicon Catalyst Portfolio Companies.”

“We are very pleased to welcome Rescale and S2C to our growing ecosystem of In-Kind Partners. The combination of cloud-based tool access from Rescale and the robust FPGA-based prototyping solution from S2C addresses the needs of the companies in our incubators and offers them expanded development options as they prepare their chip designs for tape-out and early engineering samples,” stated Tarun Verma, Managing Partner at Silicon Catalyst.
