​Why to Attend?

​Semiconductors remain one of the most actively funded sectors, with particularly strong capital deployment from Asian corporate investors.

​At this elite event, leaders from Samsung Catalyst Fund, Lam Research Capital, SK Group, Sony, Applied Materials, TSMC and peer organizations will examine the funding ecosystems across Silicon Valley and the broader United States, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and India.

​This creates a rare opportunity for entrepreneurs to present directly to a highly selective group of corporate and strategic investors.

• ​Direct access to top Corporate VCs and leading semiconductor VCs
  Silicon Valley, USA, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, India.
  
  Examples are:

• ​High-signal fundraising knowledge panels

• ​Best-in-class startup pitches in a highly selective format

• ​Practical CVC Accelerator training and frameworks

​We will showcase the semiconductor investing ecosystems of Japan, Korea, Taiwan, India and other key Asian markets — alongside the most relevant solutions for U.S.-based companies seeking capital, partnerships, and strategic customers in this sector.

​Our outreach reaches 100+ active semiconductor investors, including the CVC and VC powerhouses featured above. We expect 20–30 investors in the room and will admit only 10–15 entrepreneurs to pitch and engage. The goal is simple and deliberate: put the right people in the same room and extend Pitch Global’s established reputation into the semiconductor market with the same rigor and selectivity we apply in our other verticals.

​This focus is personal for our leadership. Our Group CEO previously ran an EDA company and served on the board of a semiconductor company that exited for $300M to Intel. Deborah Magid (Investor in Residence) spent her career at IBM. Rachna Dayal began in semiconductors before moving into healthcare investing; her next fund will cover both verticals, and her husband is a long-time TSMC executive with more than 100 patents. Sharon Sim, CEO and Chairwoman of SV Access, works at cabinet level with the Taiwanese and Singaporean governments.

​The result is not another broad pitch event. It is a curated, high-trust environment built by people who have lived inside the semiconductor value chain — and who know how capital, technology, and Asia–U.S. connectivity actually move.

​Why Silicon Valley Access?

​Powered by more than 10 years of Pitch Global experience. Alumni of our programs have collectively raised more than $1 billion. That is measurable success — not marketing language. Our long-standing affiliation with NorCal SBDC has independently documented many of these outcomes.

​Most events charge anywhere from $99 to $5,000 (and higher). We regularly hear from participants and alumni — sometimes the same day they attend another program — that they wish they had not spent the money. “You gave us more than any of the mega-events” is a comment we receive often enough that it has become a pattern.

​We work with both first-time founders and seasoned operators. Since inception we have engaged with more than 4,000 companies; many stayed with us through multiple stages of their journey. Our ecosystem rarely jumps into a deal on day one. Like any serious relationship, the parties need time to evaluate one another. Investors in our network pay close attention to how founders respond to mentorship and how quickly they absorb feedback — it is one of the clearer signals they use when deciding where to allocate capital and attention.

​Don’t take our word for it. Hear it directly from the entrepreneurs who have been through the process.
