Advice for Silicon Startups
A co-founder of an incubator for semiconductor startups gives advice to entrepreneurs working in silicon.
Traditional venture investors in the semiconductor sector have gone elsewhere. They believe it takes $100 million to launch a meaningful semiconductor company, seven years or more to get to revenue and there are much better investments elsewhere.
