Global Silicon Startups Contest Catalyzes Deep Tech Innovation

EE Times Current · 26 May 2023 · 21m

What this episode covers

Host Knitting Diehard interviews Sean Redmond of Silicon Catalyst and Paul Williamson of Arm about their Global Silicon Startups contest, which offers a $150,000 Arm IP credit and ecosystem access to help deep tech startups navigate the high technology risk and long go-to-market cycles of silicon development. The guests explain that the prize includes design reviews and networking opportunities, aiming to support companies in bridging the gap from academia or early prototyping to mass production, a process distinct from the quick-return model of software startups. They highlight the current landscape of government Chips Act funding and the rise of system companies becoming silicon companies as key drivers for new startup innovation in areas like heterogeneous integration and AI data centers.

    Nurturing Deep Tech Startups to Address Climate Change: A Conversation with Andrew Gollach of HAX

    Andrew Gollach, Principal at HAX (part of SOSV), discusses the challenges of investing in and building deep tech hardware startups focused on climate change, industrial automation, and human health. He explains HAX's model of providing hands-on support, including access to prototyping facilities in Newark, Shenzhen, and Pune, to help early-stage companies de-risk their technology. Gollach highlights critical industry headwinds, such as the difficulty of securing project finance for unproven infrastructure technologies like Direct Air Capture (DAC) and the talent shortage for experienced engineers in hardware startups.

    Deep Tech Investing

    Seth Winterroth of Eclipse and Ian Rountree of Kantos join Bryan Cantrill and Adam Leventhal of Oxide Computer Company to discuss the state of deep tech investing. They argue that venture capital has neglected hardware due to a 20-year focus on software market risk, creating an opportunity for investors who understand technical risk. The guests outline frameworks for evaluating hard tech companies, emphasizing the need for rigorous diligence, clear market validation, and the ability to navigate long development cycles from prototype to revenue.

    Ep. 28 | How DARPA Stops IC Hardware Hackers in Their Tracks: Insights from Serge Leef

    Serge Leef, DARPA’s Program Manager for the Microsystems Technology Office, discusses his transition from a 30-year career in design automation at companies like Mentor Graphics and Silicon Graphics to leading hardware security initiatives at DARPA. He outlines DARPA’s four attack surfaces for secure silicon—supply chain, side-channel, reverse engineering, and hardware Trojans—and explains the agency's strategy of embedding security into design tools, likening it to fluoridating water. Leef highlights the economic realities of hardware security, noting that while merchant semiconductor companies invest heavily in bespoke protection, IoT manufacturers often ignore it until forced by crisis, and emphasizes the critical vulnerability of untrusted third-party IP.
