Over the years, he invested in 85 semiconductor companies. Of those, 26 were acquired and 19 went public. Almost no one has that kind of investment record. One of those companies, Credo Technology, went public earlier in mid-February, raising $ million at a value of $ billion.
Tan was there with his wife, two children, and their grandchildren as he accepted the award. CE
