Semiconductor & EDA
Founder, Atheros Communications
Foundation Capital recognized the unique potential of Atheros’ technology early on. We incubated the company in Foundation’s offices, where they helped us build the team and determine our business strategy. Although I have since resumed my work at Stanford, I continue to recommend Foundation to other entrepreneurs I come across on campus.
