-
The Korean company was founded in November 2018 by a team of highly skilled professionals with extensive expertise in analog and digital chip design, hailing from diver regions within Korea and around the globe. the startup has emerged as a leading provider of cutting-edge analog & power system-on-chip and sensor signal conditioning IC products. The company's specialization lies in the development of intelligent analog and power chips catering to a wide range of applications, including the industrial, measurement, and automotive sectors. The startup has gained recognition as a national high-tech enterprise, acknowledged by local government and technology agencies for its exceptional contributions. To further enhance research and development capabilities, the company has established dedicated service centers in Seoul. With a vast portfolio of over 383 core IP technologies and associated patents, the company has made its mark on the global stage.
The semiconductor company is a total offering of high-efficiency, high-performance, and cutting-edge semiconductor provider, most significantly on power management, analog & digital converter, microcontroller, and signal processors. the startup's unwavering focus lies in analog to digital conversion, multi-channel power management, microprocessor technologies, analog-power management SoC, and sensor signal conditioning. Committed to delivering outstanding solutions, the company strives to provide customers with high-performance and top-quality electronic products for both industrial and consumer applications, creating efficient, intelligent, and energy-saving integrated power management solutions through smart analog-power SoCs.
On top of these building block technologies, the innovative startup also finds the opportunity for high-technology value addition with on-device AI, enabling components in the already great system-on-chip, trying to strive with its technological differentiation over the competitors. Edge AI chip from the company is designed to facilitate the development of advanced signal processing-related on-device AI systems. It is a high-performance synthetic signal processing SoC specifically designed to enable real-time processing and data analysis. It is equipped with an on-chip inference accelerator based on cutting-edge CNN architecture and hardware activation functions optimized for efficient speech processing, featuring real-time text-to-speech and keyword spotting without networked cloud servers.
The vast portfolio of proprietary intellectual properties makes the Korean company design the semiconductor even more significantly in a sizeable manner compared to the competitor's products with identical features and components. With its vast intellectual properties and fabrication and design capabilities, the startup's experience in chipmaking & designing excellence adds differentiation in the size department. Compared to its competitors, the semiconductor startup is able to stay in small size with more required features and components in a sizeable building block, keeping the customers and partners maintain the design excellence with additional features to their products with the same size for the actual system board. - Advantages and Innovations

The company is a total offering of high-efficiency, high-performance, and cutting-edge semiconductor providers, most significantly on power management, analog & digital converter, microcontroller, and signal processors. On top of these building block technologies, it also finds the opportunity for high-technology value addition with on-device AI, enabling components in the already great system-on-chip, trying to strive with its technological differentiation over the competitors. The vast portfolio of proprietary intellectual properties makes the company design the semiconductor even more significantly in a sizeable manner compared to the competitor's products with identical features and components.
As the above scale of description offers, the company is a globally growing semiconductor startup company that keeps on innovating and developing its already high-profile intellectual properties portfolio. The growth in revenue and expected scale of business it forecasts in two to three years of time frame looks significant as the company is on the verge of making a quantum leap to the next stage of business strategy and situation. To make this crucial opportunity for growth with even more firm acceleration and leverage, the startup wants to have the opportunity for a business partnership for a global/local sales distributor.
The company, although it already has several sales & distributing partners in local & few overseas locations, would like the opportunity to have more presence in the global scene with sales & distribution partnerships. The most interesting continents are the following: North America and Europe. As the semiconductor business is more about precise supply & demand forecasting and growing its shipment numbers, it is crucial to accumulate the global demand with the support of partnerships all over the globe.
The Korean startup, if the partnership has been successfully agreed, will provide the rights for the distribution and sales in specific geolocation, as well as the rights to marketing and reasonable commission for the sales & promotion. Once the target criteria for sales goals are met, which will be discussed together once the distributing agreements are made, the company is also willing to provide bonus incentives for present & future encouragement. Details of the agreement are set to be discussed in detail.
To make the best out of this sales & distribution partnership, the startup seeks these attributes from the suitable partnership: experience with semiconductor distribution with vast sales channels in the specific geolocation, understanding of the semiconductor ecosystem, and ability to handle customer services and requirements. Since the semiconductor business dynamics the company is facing is one that is quite complicated, it is crucial and necessary to have the right bonding with the right candidate for the sales & distribution partnership.
Other than seeking the opportunity for sales & distribution partner, the company has less interest in other partnerships as human resources and talent pool bring a sufficient level of human networking and understanding of the overall market situation and business dynamics. Therefore, the company will focus only on seeking the right geolocational sales channel. - Type and Size of Partner
