the right company, capitalists investing in a particular enterprise can earn a fairly strong return on investment (ROI). In this paper, well
discuss the company Achronix Semiconductor Corp., a semiconductor manufacturer in San Jose, CA, also known as the "Silicon Valley." This geographic area, by the way, is also home to Apple
Inc., as well as other well-known companies that manufacture and distribute products that enhance technology. Achronix is moving toward expansion and received
$43 million during Q4 2008 from investors including Argonaut Partners LLC, Battery Ventures LP, Easton Hunt Capital Partners LP, Entrepia Ventures Inc. and New Science Ventures LLC
In the rest of the paper, well examine the industry as a whole, Achronix in particular, and determine how well venture capitalists have done in
this arena. Another press release, dated last October, stated that Achronix completed its first close of $52 million in a capital raise, which it dubbed "one of the largest semiconductor
financings in recent history." Fabless Semiconductor Industry -- Overview At the dawn of the personal computer age, these machines had to
run on something other than the vacuum tubes that kept their larger cousins going. Along came the semiconductor - a wafer, or "chip" that contained billions upon billions of electronics
ensuring that a computer system (or other information technology system) had the power for data storage and transfer. These chips were manufactured in fabrication plants that were dubbed "fabs." Texas
Instruments, which was one of the first companies to both launch manufacturing of the chip, as well as these fabs, led the norm when it came to developing and distributing
