Many of today´s great semiconductor companies started life as venture-capital-backed startups, and hundreds of private semiconductor companies are driving hard to be next. Over $1 billion a year of venture investment goes into semiconductor companies. This presentation will take a look at today´s venture capital landscape from the perspective of semiconductor companies. It will discuss the overall venture investing climate, current venture investing activity in semiconductor companies, what differentiates successful semiconductor startups, and pathways from research to business. It will also offer perspectives on the emerging opportunities in semiconductors.
