Efabless

Efabless enables non-hardware experts to create the electronics required for intelligent, connected products. Efabless offers a unique process where users can rapidly, cost-effectively and easily create electronics from community-developed building blocks and open design patterns, called templates. We provide everything needed to do this: - Marketplace & request process - Library of building blocks and open designs - Design tools - Manufacturing technology and services We employ multiple models for revenue generation, including transaction fees for technology licenses and services provided, royalty fees for full volume production and subscription models for eco-system partners. Our initial offering enables the design of customized integrated circuits (ICs) based on pre-engineered templates and pre-defined libraries of functional building blocks (IP). Our customers are system companies seeking custom silicon to improve their products and IC start-up companies delivering proof of concepts to showcase their unique designs. Partners include organizations looking to address these markets or to encourage new open innovation models for ICs.
