Chipcon Founder Starts Up Energy-Sipping Semiconductor Co.
EETimes has the scoop that Geir Forre, who was co-founder and CEO of Chipcon, the low-power radio frequency (ZigBee) startup out of Norway, acquired by Texas Instruments less than two years ago for $200M, is heading a team to form Energy Micro AS, which will develop "energy friendly" microcontrollers.
When the Texas Instruments deal went through, we recall, Chipcon's founders and management owned about half the shares in the company. The rest were owned by investors.
The plan is to self-fund for the first two years, then raise outside capital, according to the eetimes report.
As you can see from our illustration, the team is in formation, with some interesting jobs on offer.
