Anthony Brewer is a PhD semiconductor physicist with 46 patents who has taken on hands-on roles like CTO and even helped design and build an advanced manufacturing facility at WearOptimo, rather than just investing from the sidelines. His background also includes published research on terahertz quantum cascade lasers and work across semiconductors, quantum devices, graphene, and wearable health tech, and he serves as a mentor in the ARC Graphene Research Hub program, supporting materials researchers as they move toward commercialization.
About their Fund
Silicon Catalyst is the only accelerator focused exclusively on the global semiconductor industry, giving startups working on chips, chiplets, materials, silicon photonics, MEMS, sensors, life science, and quantum access to a semiconductor-specific stack of foundry access, EDA tools, IP, packaging, and testing worth millions of dollars, plus a 24-month incubation program, strategic partners like TI, Arm, and NXP who help select and work with startups, and its own investment arms, Silicon Catalyst Angels and Silicon Catalyst Ventures. It operates this model through localized programs in the UK, EU, Israel, Japan, Australia, and Malaysia, connecting local startups to Silicon Valley networks and mentors, and has built an ecosystem that has engaged with over 1,500 semiconductor startups, admitted more than 150, and facilitated over $150 million in in-kind support, $600 million in venture investment, and $100 million in grants.
