| About TI Venture Capital Program |
 |
TI’s Venture Capital (TIVC) Program is designed to:
Provide TI with strategic awareness of new technologies and markets,
allow close partnering with our business teams and external venture
capital firms on investment and alliance opportunities, and provide
financial return for TI.
The TIVC program is comprised of:
- Sourcing of deals and coordination with TI’s business
units on selected TI investments as a part of TI’s Direct
Investment Program.
- TI’s continuing strategic relationship with Granite
Ventures, where TI is a key investor in Granite Ventures II.
- TI investments in and working relationships with several
other leading Venture Capital (VC) funds that are complementary
to our internal investment program.
- The TI Ventures Fund that continues to make follow-on investments
in our portfolio companies.
TI established a corporate VC program in 1996 and remains an
active investor today. TI will continue to partner with leading
VCs to offer attractive advantages for start-up companies seeking
funding. Since each early-stage company is different and unique,
TIVC maintains a flexible approach to partnering and tailors
the relationship on a case-by-case basis.
