Operator lens
Experience across semiconductor technical leadership, foundry strategy, manufacturing, commercialization, and executive-level hard-tech decisions.
Pressure-test the hard-tech story before you commit capital, credibility, or product focus.
TIGRE gives investors, acquirers, boards, founders, and technical executives a senior technical-commercial second opinion on what is real, what is missing, and what is most likely to break.
Technical Depth. Commercial Results.
Pressure-Test a DecisionWhy buyers trust TIGRE
Semiconductor operator judgment, not generic consulting theater.
Technical depth
Comfort close to the device, process, manufacturing path, test evidence, qualification burden, and failure mode.
Commercial consequence
The point is not technical criticism. The point is what the evidence means for product focus, customers, capital, valuation, and credibility.
Use TIGRE when
The decision is too technical for generic advice and too important for guesswork.
Capital is about to move
An investor, acquirer, or board needs an independent read on whether the technical story supports the business case.
The product story is blurry
A real technology has not yet become a clear product wedge, customer reason-to-buy, or fundable proof plan.
The milestone sounds weak
The next step is a test chip, demo, pilot, or process claim that may not resolve the right uncertainty.
Where TIGRE fits
More integrated than an expert call. More technical than generic strategy. More accountable than an AI summary.
Versus big consulting
Use TIGRE when a large team would add process but the decisive risk sits close to the technology.
Versus expert networks
Use TIGRE when the issue requires synthesis across technology, manufacturing, customers, and capital, not a one-hour opinion.
Versus internal review
Use TIGRE when internal incentives, founder optimism, or deal momentum may be distorting the judgment.
Versus academic review
Use TIGRE when novelty is not enough and the question is product, adoption, manufacturing, or investability.
Versus AI research
Use TIGRE when summaries have created more words, but not more accountability for what is likely to break.
Versus doing nothing
Use TIGRE before weak assumptions become sunk cost, public commitment, or board-level embarrassment.
Who hires TIGRE
Senior judgment for high-consequence hard-tech choices.
Investors & acquirers
Technical diligence and second opinions before capital, acquisition effort, partnership momentum, or deal credibility is committed.
Boards & executives
Plain-spoken technical-commercial readouts before a product, partner, funding, acquisition, or strategy decision becomes expensive.
Founders & CEOs
Commercialization reset when the invention is real but the product wedge, customer logic, proof plan, or capital story is still blurry.
Advisory partners
A specialist semiconductor and hard-tech judgment layer inside a broader diligence, market strategy, transaction, or growth effort.
Example engagements
What the work looks like when someone actually buys it.
Investor diligence
Technical-commercial memo on whether a semiconductor startup's claims support the investment thesis.
Founder reset
Product wedge, proof plan, and funding narrative for a real invention with a blurry business story.
Board readout
Plain-spoken recommendation before a product pivot, partnership, acquisition effort, or capital commitment.
What you get
Decision products, not vague advice.
What is real
Technical claim integrity, evidence quality, and what the data actually proves.
What is missing
Manufacturing, qualification, customer, capital, and execution gaps that the story has not resolved.
What breaks
Failure modes likely to matter before investment, acquisition, product focus, or credibility is committed.
What to test next
Decision-grade questions, proof points, and milestones that reduce real risk.
What to stop assuming
Claims that sound plausible but are not yet bankable, manufacturable, sellable, or defensible.
What to do
Proceed, pause, re-scope, kill, fund, partner, focus, or change the story.

A deck, memo, diligence list, AI summary, test-chip plan, product roadmap, customer notes, or short problem statement is enough to start scoping.
