Silicon Catalyst Angels was spawned from Silicon Catalyst, the world’s only incubator focused exclusively on accelerating solutions in silicon. Silicon Catalyst, named UBM/Canon’s Startup Company of the Year, is now in its fifth year of operations and has engaged with over 300 startups. www.sicatalyst.com What makes Silicon Catalyst Angels unique is not only our visibility into an exclusive deal flow pipeline, but our membership of accredited investors is comprised of seasoned semiconductor veterans who bring with them a wealth of knowledge along with their ability to invest. Driven by passion and a desire to ‘give back’, our members understand the hardware space thanks to a lifetime of engagement in the industry. When you couple our members enthusiasm, knowledge, and broad network of connections with companies that have been vetted and admitted to Silicon Catalyst, you have a formula that is to date, non existent within the investment community.
