TD Shepherd congratulates the Intrinsic ID team on their recent acquisition by Synopsys, a leading US EDA company!
Intrinsic ID, a cybersecurity specialist with its roots deeply embedded in Eindhoven, has long been recognized for its groundbreaking work in physical unclonable functions (PUFs). Their innovative approach leverages the inherent uniqueness of each chip, providing an unparalleled level of hardware security essential for safeguarding sensitive data across various sectors.
With Synopsys’ acquisition, we are witnessing a remarkable milestone for Intrinsic ID. It also recognizes the increased focus on security for IoT devices, driven by upcoming new legilsation in the EU and North America. This new legislation will force IoT device manufacturers to pay substantially more attention to the security of the devices and their connectivity. It is expected that Intrinsic-ID in combination with Synopsys IP services will see a substantial growth in customer demand over the coming years.
This acquisition underscores the importance of collaboration and innovation in shaping the future of technology.
Congratulations, once again, to the entire team at Intrinsic ID for this well-deserved achievement!
We look forward to witnessing the incredible success you’ll make in the cybersecurity landscape under the Synopsys umbrella.

If there’s one thing we’ve learned about surviving the Valley of Death in deep tech, it’s this: don’t go it alone. This stage is all about leveraging relationships, and corporate partnerships can be your most valuable lifeline. The key is to think beyond customers.
The so-called “Valley of Death” in deep tech isn’t just about running out of cash—it’s about navigating a period where expectations clash with reality. Investors want to see traction, but your tech isn’t market-ready. Customers are intrigued, but they’re not ready to commit. And your R&D costs? They’re still burning through cash like it’s a bonfire.
