Steve Teig

President and CTO

"I believe that Tabula will change the world by profoundly advancing what programmable devices can do: initially, by providing hardware designers with a powerful alternative to today's FPGAs, ASICs, and ASSPs and, looking forward, by providing software designers with a far more scalable computer as well. In so doing, we have the opportunity to transform the electronics industry and to build the multi-billion-dollar company that will result from doing so."

President and CTO
Prior to co-founding Tabula, Steve Teig was CTO of Cadence Design Systems (NSDQ:CDNS). Steve joined Cadence through its acquisition of Simplex Solutions (NSDQ: SPLX), where he was also CTO. At Simplex, Steve invented and led the technology development for the X Architecture, which radically improves chip design by pervasively incorporating diagonal wiring. Before joining Simplex, Steve co-founded two successful biotechnology companies: CombiChem (NSDQ: CCHM, later acquired by DuPont Pharmaceuticals), where he was CTO, and BioCAD, where he was CTO and, later, CEO. At CombiChem, Steve invented and led the development of the company's revolutionary Discovery Engine technology, with which CombiChem discovered pharmaceutical-lead compounds for 11 different therapeutic areas in only five years. At BioCAD, Steve designed Catalyst: market-leading software for pharmaceutical discovery. In the 1980s, Steve spent several years in the EDA industry, where his work had a major impact still felt today. First, at Trilogy Systems, he invented the now-universal technique of compiled-code logic simulation. Then, as CTO and co-founder of Tangent Systems (which later became Cadence's very first acquisition), he invented the principal place-and-route algorithms for the Tancell and Tangate products. These techniques formed the core of Cadence's Gate Ensemble, Cell-3 Ensemble, and Silicon Ensemble systems and lay many of the foundations for the physical design of even today's chips. Steve received a B.S.E. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from Princeton University. He holds over 240 patents. In 2002, he broke Thomas Edison's record for the number of patents filed by an individual in a single year.

Prasun

Hardware Engineering

"I believe that we are on the precipice of a disruption of a disproportionate nature with our Spacetime technology. And it's fun to be a part of this - working shoulder to shoulder with the best talent in the Valley."

"I joined Tabula for a chance to be part of this monumentous effort. We have a brilliant technologist and a creative business leader at the helm, and we'll go to great places with this mix."

Chris

Applications Engineering

"I believe Spacetime has the potential to redefine programmable logic and eventually enable an entirely new approach to ASSP design."

"I joined Tabula first and foremost due the quality of the team assembled here. I continue to work at Tabula because it presents an opportunity to be intellectually challenged in ways I never anticipated. Spacetime is a new paradigm that requires re-examination of everything that you may have previously accepted as fundamental rules. The challenge is to distinguish the difference between the requirements and implementation and develop new solutions to the requirements. In our work at Tabula we are constantly challenged to address design requirements in entirely new ways. Yes, it is a challenge but it is also an opportunity to apply your existing knowledge in new and innovative ways. This exploration is a team effort at Tabula. We are continuously developing new solutions that both expand the capabilities, and even our understanding, of Spacetime."

Dennis Segers, CEO, Tabula, Inc.

CEO
Dennis Segers joined Tabula in May 2006 after serving as an independent board member for two years. Prior to Tabula he served as president, CEO, and director of Matrix Semiconductor. Matrix pioneered the design and development of three-dimensional integrated circuits, a first in the history of semiconductor technology. At Matrix, Dennis oversaw the transition of the company from the early technology feasibility phase to high volume production, culminating in the acquisition of the company by SanDisk in January 2006. Previously, Dennis served as the senior vice president and general manager of the FPGA product groups at Xilinx. He oversaw the development and introduction of the Virtex family of field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), the most successful programmable logic family in the industry's history. Under his direction the high end FPGA division grew from a $300M business to over $1.4B. In April 2000 he was elected to the Xilinx board of directors. A 30-year industry veteran, Dennis began his career at Mostek Corporation as a product development engineer for Mostek's 16K DRAMs. He has held a variety of management positions in circuit design, process technology, and product development. Throughout his career Dennis has overseen the successful development and market introduction of over 40 products and technologies in a wide range of IC businesses including; memory, logic, and mixed-signal integrated circuits (ICs). He has served as a board member and advisor to numerous venture capital backed startups as well as private and public companies. Dennis is currently a director for Parade Technologies, Ltd., a public fabless semiconductor company. A past member of the board of directors of the Fabless Semiconductor Association (now the Global Semiconductor Alliance, GSA), Dennis also served as the Chairman of the GSA Emerging Company CEO Council from 2007 until 2010. Dennis received a BS Electrical Engineering degree from Texas A&M in 1975. He is a member of the College of Engineering Advisory Board, and was a 2008 Outstanding Alumni Award recipient.
