TI Ventures, L.P.

A unique Venture Capital partnership
established by H&Q and Texas Instruments

TI Ventures, L.P. is a venture capital fund established by H&Q and Texas Instruments to invest in early-stage communications companies, with an emphasis on DSP-related technologies.

In today's technology industry, emerging growth companies are faced with fierce competition, not only from established industry leaders, but also from other early-stage companies. Therefore, in recent years H&Q Venture Capital has evolved its business to incorporate an even more value-added approach.

As venture capital investors, our greatest concern is the success of the companies we finance. Therefore, we are working with industry-leading corporations to establish dedicated venture capital partnerships. Through these funds, H&Q Venture Capital and its partners bring to the table more than just early-stage finance capital; we are able to provide our portfolio companies with access to the technical and market resources of our industry partners as well as to the financial network of H&Q's investment banking operations.

As the United States' second largest semiconductor company, Texas Instruments maintains vital interests in a diverse range of technologies, products, and markets. TI holds a market-leading position in the supply of components and systems for the communications and computing industries. TI's leadership in the field of DSPs makes it an ideal partner in the development of products for the wireless, networking, and storage industries.

As semiconductors are absorbing more and more of the functionality of an overall system, TI needs to be able to better understand the needs of both end users and equipment vendors. Through TI Ventures, Texas Instruments is able to participate in new markets and businesses that are beyond the traditional reach of its operations. As TI Ventures augments TI's direct strategic partnership programs, TI is also able to work closely with early-stage companies whose strategic connection to the corporation is less direct.
