BELLINGHAM, WA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- Feb 22, 2007 -- Steve Szirom, president and senior analyst of InsideChips, will moderate a panel of semiconductor industry executives discussing the topic: "Ecosystem Environment for Starting Multicore Processor Ventures" at the Multicore Expo, March 27-29, 2007 at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, Calif. About the panel, Szirom said, "Fabless semiconductor start-ups face a number of challenges in today's market and investor climates. It is no longer enough to come up with a great technology and assume it will lead to success. They need to leverage resources such as those provided at the Multicore Expo to learn what it really takes to build a successful company."

The panel session will be held on Tuesday, March 27 from 3:15 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. and will feature these distinguished members of the semiconductor start-up ecosystem:

--  Gordon Campbell, Executive Director, Techfarm Ventures

    PriceWaterhouseCoopers

--  Chet Brown, President, Intellasys
    
The panel discussion will cover topics ranging from increasing the odds for successfully launching a new venture and getting it funded to avoiding pitfalls, meeting major business milestones, and seeing the venture through to a successful exit. The panelists will share their knowledge of what makes a good ecosystem environment and talk about the unique challenges faced by multicore processor start-ups, with their technology's novelty and highly more complex hardware-software design issues. The panel will address all of these issues to help entrepreneurs understand how to create an ecosystem and a community that forms a sound foundation for a new venture.
