About Visibl Semiconductors
Summary
Visibl Semiconductors delivers end-to-end custom ASIC development for hardware companies, covering chip architecture, design, verification, foundry management, and production. It targets robotics, drone, industrial, IoT, and edge device makers that have been blocked from custom silicon by the cost and timelines of traditional chip design houses or the performance ceilings of off-the-shelf components. Visibl replaces multimillion-dollar, year-plus engagements with incumbents at a fraction of the time and cost.
Go-to-market
Hardware companies in B2B markets engage Visibl directly for full-service chip development, replacing contracts with large incumbent design firms or internal FPGA workarounds.

A faster, lower cost path to custom silicon
Visibl makes custom chip development dramatically faster and lower cost for hardware companies. Today, most hardware companies that need a custom chip have bad options: sign a massive contract with an incumbent like Broadcom, pay a traditional design house millions of dollars and wait 18+ months, or keep using off-the-shelf chips and FPGAs that are not optimized for their product's cost, power, performance, size, or manufacturability. We handle the full path from architecture and design through verification, foundry management, and production. That makes custom ASICs accessible to robotics, drones, industrial, IoT, and edge hardware companies that were previously priced out of the market. As more hardware products need differentiated silicon, we think custom chip development should be available to far more companies than it is today.
