Founder Says First DSL Company Reached IPO in Nearly Three Years

The founder’s first company developed chips based on DSL technology, a method used to deliver broadband to many homes. The company progressed from opening its doors to having a chip for sale and generating revenue.

The founder says the company went public almost three years after its founding, a pace he describes as the fastest from inception to IPO for a semiconductor company. He attributes the outcome to a good idea, a strong team, good timing and luck; the record and timeline are presented as his own claims and are not independently verified here.
