Broc Consultancy

My aim for Broc is to provide a valuable and flexible extension to your team, working as a peer, helping you to define, implement and deliver your product to market. Define | Market Research "If I had asked my customers what they wanted, they'd have said a faster horse"- Henry Ford Ask n people what's important to them and you'll get n+1 answers. Your deeptech needs to solve a real problem, but defining that problem is hard. It takes a combination of bottom-up questioning to understand how people work today, and top-down visioning to understand how people will work tomorrow. I reduce your commercial risk by identifying valuable unmet needs; validated by relevant, real people. Implement | Analog & Mixed Signal IC Layout I have over 15 years' experience in delivering analog and mixed-signal IC layout, on-time, for right-first-time silicon. I've worked in the automotive, biotech, quantum and space industries. I've been responsible for top-level silicon layout, padrings, IP blocks, all physical verification, foundry tape-out and packaging. My silicon-proven layout spans various CMOS nodes (including vanilla, HV & BCD processes) and e-beam lithography. I enjoy pushing microelectronics to do new things. I reduce your technical risk through my comprehensive layout service. Top-down: helping you to define the architecture of your chip in the context it needs to work in. Bottom-up: I've done microfabrication in the cleanroom, giving me insight into DFM that yields right-first-time silicon. Deliver | Mentoring "Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself"- Rumi First-time founders face the unique challenge of needing to run while learning to walk. Yet I believe they can make the best startup leaders. My mentoring aims to empower you to build the best company you can, to deliver your deeptech to market. I provide an independent and considered perspective, free from favour, and tailored to your growth.
