presence of Motorola alumni



within those ranks,” Renaldi said. “Not surprisingly, you’ll find these Motorola alumni at startups which are at the intersection of hardware and some type of consumer electronics integration. Battery solutions, RF technologies, industrial design. These are all the bread and butter of Motorola.”

Renaldi noted there are other Chicago startups founded by Motorola vets that are currently in stealth, which he declined to name.

“Motorola boasts some of the best engineers in the world,” Chicago VC Rick Desai said in an email. “As they depart Moto they will emerge in a new Chicago landscape–one that supports entrepreneurship, including an increasing focus on hardware. With our eco-system mitigating many of the typical startup risks, I expect these engineers and product visionaries to found the next great hardware startup in Chicago.”

The trend of Motorola vets launching new hardware startups is due in part to engineers itching to start something new. But the flood of available tech talent came when Motorola cut 500 employees last summer, creating a surge of Chicago engineers looking for work. Companies like Jiobit and LightPad have been able to fill their teams with Motorola engineers with years of hardware experience.

“What (those layoffs) led to are teams forming outside of the company who very quickly were able to staff up every expertise that they needed,” said Patel, whose consulting firm has worked with many of the Chicago startups formed by Motorola alums.

“THIS IS DEFINITELY THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG.”

Globalfoundries sure would have the equipment to make the neah batteries given its change over to new chips and new equipment....

GlobalFoundries (stylized as GLOBALFOUNDRIES) is a semiconductor foundry headquartered in Santa Clara, California, United States.[3] GlobalFoundries was created by the divestiture of the manufacturing arm of Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) on March 2, 2009, expanded through the acquisition of Chartered Semiconductor on January 23, 2010, and further expanded through the acquisition of IBM Microelectronics on July 1, 2015. The Emirate of Abu Dhabi is the owner of the company through its subsidiary Advanced Technology Investment Company (ATIC). On March 4, 2012, AMD announced they divested their final 14% stake in the company, which concluded AMD's multi-year plan to divest its manufacturing arm.[4]

The firm manufactures integrated circuits in high volume mostly for semiconductor companies such as AMD, Broadcom, Qualcomm, and STMicroelectronics. It has five 200 mm wafer fabrication plants in Singapore, one 300 mm fabrication plant in each of Germany and Singapore, and three fabrication plants in the United States: one 200 mm fabrication plant in Vermont (where it is the state's largest private employer) and two 300 mm fabrication plants in New York.[5]
