Strategic Relationships and Ventures
Semiconductor-savvy entrepreneurs need forums to help them explore, propose, support and fund groundbreaking technology and solutions development. TI Strategic Relationships and Ventures can help make crucial connections that can enable startup growth and scale.
About us
We are constantly reviewing all available avenues to expand our innovation portfolio. TI Strategic Relationships and Ventures seeks to understand the technology development path of startups, early stage companies and entrepreneurs, striving to connect the dots between your technology and TI’s strategic direction. When we identify potential fits, our team acts as the interface between you and relevant TI business units, streamlining access to technology teams where appropriate for exploratory discussions. Occasionally, TI will make strategic equity investments, typically accompanied by a commercial agreement with a TI business. We are also a strategic ecosystem partner with Silicon Catalyst, the world’s only startup incubator focused exclusively on accelerating startup solutions in silicon.
