Jim Hogan & Methodics’ Simon Butler Explore the Path from Bootstrapped Startup to Profitability
Jim Hogan and his guest Simon Butler of Methodics held a lively discussion about bootstrapping a startup, successfully creating a new market segment and more.
Jim and Simon took the audience on a stroll through the story of a fledgling, bootstrapped startup that’s become a profitable player in a new category called IP Lifecycle Management — IPLM, for short — targeting chip designers.
With Jim navigating, they explored Simon’s vision and reasons why Methodics pursued this application space. Audience members learned how Methodics expanded the definition of product lifecycle management (PLM) in the Enterprise Software segment into IPLM for a design-centric view of the semiconductor IP lifecycle. Along the way, as they explained, Methodics became profitable and paved PLM’s “last mile,” allowing for the completion of the “digital thread” from system design all the way to the semiconductor level.
