SiliconIP

Biography:

Kurt Wolf is the Founder and President of Silicon-IP, Inc. His company is the first & only independent outsourcing firm for 3rd party silicon-IP. The deliverables to silicon design teams include technical and quality due diligence as well as license negotiation. As an outsourced service, dedicated to serving silicon design teams, Silicon-IP has the unique capability to operate as an independent agent and aggregate many 3rd party IP requirements. The company provides even the smallest and newest design teams with the same or better knowledge, insight, and implementation skills as enjoyed by the largest companies - but without the expensive cost of a dedicated, full-time team of technical and business professionals.

Prior to founding Silicon-IP, Kurt spent the last 11 years building and managing the 3rd party IP eco-system at TSMC. Currently, he is also consulting at GLOBALFOUNDRIES to build their 3rd party Design Enablement portfolio.

Kurt has a M.S.E.E. from the University of Michigan and an MBA from Santa Clara University.
