Chris Rowen

I am a seasoned technologist and entrepreneur - founder of three iconic companies (MIPS Computer Systems, Tensilica, and BabbleLabs) with a total exit value of almost $1B. I have deeply involved in semiconductors, computer architecture, AI and enterprise software for decades, while serving as a CEO for Tensilica and BabbleLabs together for 15 years, and advising and funding scores of tech startups. I am devoting an increasing fraction of my time to startup coaching, notably through a free in-depth Startup Bootcamp program and community.
