Simon Chaput, while pursuing his Ph.D. at Harvard University between 2013 and 2017, invented a new technology to reduce the energy used in piezoelectric actuator systems by 10X. Recognizing the commercial potential of this innovation, he founded Boréas Technologies. Through the process of launching the company, Chaput complemented his engineering skills with business acumen, including startup financing, IP protection, technology licensing, and sales. Boréas Technologies Inc. is a fabless semiconductor company commercializing product-differentiating integrated circuits. The company’s vision is to “Drive the haptic revolution through low-power electronics,” enabling the next wave of user experiences in consumer electronic devices. CapDriveTM is Boréas’ exclusive patented, scalable high-voltage piezo driver architecture. It drives the creation of miniature piezo drivers using a fraction of the power and area of conventional drivers, thus allowing for the full benefits of piezo actuators to be realized in the system.
