Next up in our series of 2014 forecasts we have the sage predictions of Angel Orrantia, Business Development Director at SKTA Innopartners LLC….
“Aside from some massive players, the rest of the chip industry has been forced to adopt capital light business models. Simultaneously, we’re seeing the mask costs making advanced nodes prohibitively expensive. What’s Silicon Valley without the Silicon?Monday, November 18th, 2013
 Angel Orrantia
SKTA Innopartners director Angel Orrantia spoke with the San Jose Mercury’s Peter Delevett on why Silicon Valley’s VC community has to start investing again in hardware. Sure, as Orrantia infers, hardware is tougher (and will probably take longer) to get an exit out of. But hardware is how electronics ultimately works with its human users. So funding the hardware ecosystem in, say semiconductors, is absolutely crucial to Silicon Valley’s continued role as the mecca for high tech innovation. That’s why Orrantia says it’s time to put the silicon back in Silicon Valley.

Liz here. I’ve just gotten word from Angel Orrantia of Innopartners, and we have a winner of the 2nd-ever hardware hackathon, mentioned in our earlier post today. Drumroll please…..
Awaiting word from Innopartners director Orrantia on winner of Open Compute Project hackathonWednesday, June 19th, 2013We’re waiting to hear from SKTA Innopartners LLC director Angel Orrantia on the results of the Open Compute Project hackathon that took place yesterday at the Facebook campus. Orrantia is one of the judges. We hear that the winner will be announced at the GigaOM Structure conference this afternoon sometime. What happened at the hackathon? There were a number of teams comprised of over 50 hackers from Silicon Valley, Singapore, Miami, Boston, Seattle, Virginia and Texas. Projects included: • building an ARM based system on a chip • bringing robotics into the datacenter to automate repairs • building a fast interconnect between ARM boards • gathering server diagnostics data into a web interface for remote diagnostics over the web • two projects on car automation 1- collecting diagnostic data about the car – like speed, fuel consumption, acceleration, etc. – to give people the ability to monitor their driving habits to prevent or avoid accidents 2- designing a headset that measures brainwaves to alert the driver or a third party company that can get in touch with the driver Also, the winners from the last hackathon returned to continue working and expanding on their debug port aggregation hack. |
