SemiFive

SemiFive provides a design platform that helps companies develop custom chips, semiconductors built for a specific product or service rather than general use, more quickly and at lower cost.

Its customers are electronics makers, AI-service developers, and other businesses that need purpose-built chips but lack the in-house engineering infrastructure to design them efficiently. The company's core structural model is to platform the chip-design stage the way contract manufacturers (foundries) already platformed chip production, enabling multiple clients to reuse design work across projects. It is listed on KOSDAQ, South Korea's technology-focused stock exchange.
