Beetlebox has been launched by Imperial Innovations to commercialise research conducted by Andrew Swirski.
Beetlebox, a UK-based electronic design automation company, was launched by Imperial Innovations, the tech transfer affiliate of Imperial College London, on Thursday.
Beetlebox focuses on the field programmable gate array (FPGA) sector, a type of technology that allows integrated circuits to be configured by a client after manufacturing. The spinout is aiming to reduce development time, making hardware more accessible to software developers.
The company is commercialising work by Andrew Swirski, a graduate in electrical and electronic engineering from Imperial College London. Swirski now acts as chief technology officer of Beetlebox.
The spinout was launched through Imperial Innovations’ equity for services program, which enables students and non-academic founders to access support from the TTO’s Venture Support Unit.
Lamia Baker, senior technology licensing executive at Imperial Innovations, said: “We are delighted to announce the formation of Beetlebox.
“We have worked closely with Andrew to support the launch of Beetlebox, which has the potential to significantly simplify the development FPGAs for developers.”
