Axilica Limited, founded in 2007 by David Mulvaney Ph.D., operated in the electronic design automation (EDA) sector. The company was established as a subsidiary of Loughborough University, England.
Axilica focused on developing an EDA software program intended to streamline the design process for semiconductor chips. Its core offering was a visual design language front-end for hardware design, which utilized unified modeling language (UML) to represent designs. This approach aimed to simplify the complex process of chip creation for hardware engineers.
The company's business model was centered around funded research projects. However, this model proved to be unsustainable, leading to a scale-down of operations. The company is now considered deadpooled. During its active years, Axilica secured investment from at least one institutional investor, the Lachesis Fund.
