IPextreme Secures $6M 'Series A' Funding from Alloy and SmartForest
Dan Rubin, Partner at Alloy, commented, "We feel the semiconductor IP market is still in its infancy and represents a significant business opportunity beyond traditional IP companies. IPextreme has extensive commercial and technical IP experience, and we look forward to them changing the industry by getting established semiconductor companies into the IP game through their innovative business model."

With their desirable patent-pending IP packaging technology and unique IP skill and experience, they are well positioned for success."

With their financial support and guidance we will continue making IPextreme the natural choice for large semiconductor companies to bring their IP to market."
