How it started
When GateRocket’s founder and CTO Chris Schalick made the transition from ASIC to FPGA design, he realized that the FPGA design process has many differences than ASICs and that the there were significant gaps with the tools and process needed to verify and test these sophisticated devices.  Armed with a burning desire to solve this problem, he started GateRocket.  Schalick, a designer with hand-on experience in both worlds, discovered several unique and powerful approaches to solving the FPGA verification problem and decided to productize his ideas.

FPGA semiconductor device capability has advanced in many directions, are a beneficiary of Moore’s Law and the exponential advances of semiconductor fabrication technology.  Now, FPGAs consume less power, are able to run faster and are available in low-cost and efficient package configurations.  Therefore, these chips satisfy the needs of many markets.  This increase in market fit created an explosion of FPGA designs at the expense of the traditional and costly Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) approach.  Not surprising, the number of new projects each year for FPGA is 25 times that for ASICs.  GateRocket is focused on addressing the verification need for these designs.
