On Thursday, September 22nd, Robert Bosch GmbH and ItoM Holding B.V. signed an agreement covering the acquisition of 100% of the shares of ItoM Services by Robert Bosch GmbH.
ItoM Holding B.V. was founded in 1998 by pioneers in the semiconductor RF and analogue/mixed-signal circuitry. Since its creation, the ItoM founding team has successfully created a market leader in semiconductor design services with an unmatched IP- and patent portfolio and a global authority in the field of RF and Analogue/Mixed-Signal (AMS) circuits.
TD Shepherd & Co supported the shareholders of ItoM Holding B.V. and the Management Team of ItoM Services along the full acquisition path including the restructuring.
The semiconductor industry has shaped the modern world in ways few industries ever have. From powering consumer electronics and enabling artificial intelligence to transforming healthcare, automotive systems, communications, and defense technologies, semiconductors remain at the core of global technological progress.
When you’re pitching to VCs, the trap is to sound like every other founder with slides on “market size” and “team.” That’s noise. In most cases, investors care less about technical complexity itself and more about what makes your technology unique, and why competitors won’t be able to copy it easily.
When people talk about “pillars of fundraising,” they often assume there’s one universal list. However, there is no single universal set of pillars in fundraising. Different fundraising experts describe different four-pillar models, each with its own logic and purpose.
