AI Analysis

The Take

Focused content on chip economics and strategy is the podcast’s selling point — episodes call out MEMS, silicon carbide and open-source silicon and provide distribution across Apple/Spotify/YouTube. The landing page is standard Substack with a Riverside video watermark; if you care about the topic it’s worth subscribing, but there’s no product innovation here beyond curated, topical conversations.

Target Audience

Engineers, industry analysts, investors, policy wonks and enthusiasts interested in semiconductors and silicon economics

Post Description

Not my first time starting a podcast, but definitely the most fun. I enjoy talking to folks about their work, and highlighting trends in semiconductors. I'm starting with some mems companies, and then moving over into covering open source subjects for a bit. If you know someone working on open source silicon, please send me a message!

I built a semiconductor internship job board

This is a straightforward, tightly focused internship aggregator for chip design roles — listings from Intel, Qorvo and other known players make it immediately useful to EE/CE students. The signup-gated sidebar and basic filters show clear MVP thinking, but it's essentially a curated listings site; to become a go-to resource it needs stronger signals (company verification, normalized pay data, application workflow or campus integrations).
