[Ravi Nanavati]

Bluespec, Inc. is a hardware design startup based in Waltham, 
Massachusetts that is building the next generation of Electronic Design 
Automation (EDA) tools. Bluespec's toolset, which is based on functional 
programming technology, delivers a high-level design and verification 
environment to current Verilog and VHDL designers of ASICs and FPGAs. 
Bluespec is the first high-level synthesis product that accelerates the 
design cycle and reduces verification costs while retaining the ability 
to deliver no-compromise hardware. Bluespec's technical team includes 
the noted programming-language luminaries Rishiyur Nikhil and Joe Stoy. 
Join Bluespec and be part of what's next in silicon design!
