Cadence supply chain services

At Cadence, we understand that startup companies have fundamentally different business needs. Startups exist in a produce-or-perish paradigm, where capital is limited and the fate of the venture may hinge on one shot at a market window. This situation leads to intense pressures to speed time to market, optimize the odds of first-pass silicon success, and conserve capital.

Startups often look to Cadence to help mitigate risks. Our extensive expertise can help you deal time- and cost-effectively with many issues, such as building your design team and evaluating and negotiating electronic design automation (EDA) software licenses. We can also help you select from and negotiate with the various design chain partners, such as foundries and test and packaging suppliers; and assist you in collecting and customizing the necessary libraries and process design kits (PDKs). This assistance can extend to managing the full range of supply chain tasks—all the way to volume production.

In short, we work as a partner who understands your business needs and knows what it requires to take a good business concept and translate it into a finished IC design that will win sockets.
