As semiconductor VC funding dips, startups trip, crash, build for the next boom
As the economic downturn brings the astronomical level of investor hype over semiconductor startups back to Earth, some venture-backed companies think now is the right time to build for the next boom period, while others stumble and crash.
According to data provided by PitchBook, global VC funding for semiconductor startups in 2022 reached $7.8 billion, as of December 5. That's a 46 percent decline from the record $14.5 billion investors pumped into silicon firms last year and a 24 percent decline from the $10.3 billion raised in 2020.
While the bar has always been higher for silicon firms than software startups because of how capital-intensive they are, investor money was easier to come by previously. Belwalkar is referring to fabless chip design firms that need to raise enough money to hire people, design integrated circuits, and then pay tens of millions for a tape-out, the final step of the design process where a photomask is sent to a contract chipmaker like Taiwan's TSMC for manufacturing.
