Partnering with engineers to scale disruptive technologies from first silicon to market leadership
About Us
Tipping Point Ventures is a Silicon Valley-based venture capital firm that invests at the intersection of silicon, systems, and software — where the most transformative innovations begin.
Evolved from GlobalLink1 Capital, the firm was a founding Series A investor in Astera Labs (IPO March 2024), nusemi (Cadence acquisition), Diakopto (ANSYS acquisition), and Kinara (NXP acquisition). Additional exits include NetLogic Microsystems (Broadcom), Aquantia (Marvell), and DesignArt Networks (Qualcomm).
We don't just fund companies; we fuel legacies. By partnering with the world's brightest engineers, we turn breakthrough innovations into the market-defining giants of tomorrow.
What We Look For
We specialize in the deep-tech foundational technologies - silicon, systems, and software - to empower the next generation of transformative breakthroughs.
We back founders before the market sees what they see. Seed and Series A is where conviction matters most — and where we deploy.
Our partners have built and scaled successful semiconductor companies. We don't just write checks — we help founders navigate from prototype to product-market fit.
