Our Services

Semiconductor Strategy and Advisory

SemiAdvisors offers senior advisory services at the intersection of technology, policy, and investment for semiconductor companies, investors, and government-linked organizations, drawing on a network across industry, government agencies, national labs, academic institutions, and industry associations built over decades in industry and government, including the CHIPS Program Office, a 'startup' within the U.S. Commerce Department.

Ecosystem Collaboration: Industry, Government, and Academia

‍The most durable competitive advantages in semiconductors are built through ecosystems, not individual transactions. SemiAdvisors identifies where a client's strategic interests intersect with other industry partners, government priorities, national laboratories, and academic institutions, and then helps clients structure collaborations that create lasting value.

Government Policy and Funding Alignment

Direct experience from decades in industry and government informs practical, grounded advice on aligning technology, investment, and regulatory strategy with U.S. industrial policy and available funding pathways. That guidance is sharpened by familiarity with government contracting vehicles and evolving procurement dynamics in the Departments of Commerce, Defense, and Energy.

Business Development and Go-to-Market

‍Experience in startup-like environments in compute, enterprise software, EDA, and IP equips SemiAdvisors to provide clients practical advice in target market selection, value proposition, competitive positioning, deal structuring, channel partner strategy and organizational development.

EDA, IP, and Design Ecosystem

Mike and his network have decades of experience in sales, marketing, and R&D across Synopsys, Cadence, and Siemens EDA, with a rich vantage point on EDA and IP strategy, licensing, and the design ecosystem. SemiAdvisors is well positioned to advise EDA and IP companies and users on competitive positioning, partnership development, and how AI is reshaping design and the EDA industry.
