Guerrilla RF

Guerrilla RF (OTCQX: GUER) is a fabless semiconductor company that designs and sells high-performance Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits (MMICs).

Founded in 2013 by Ryan Michael Pratt, the company is headquartered in Greensboro, North Carolina. Pratt, who serves as CEO, possesses two decades of experience in the RF semiconductor industry, including roles at Skyworks and RF Micro Devices (RFMD), a company co-founded by his father, Bill Pratt. After being laid off from Skyworks in 2013, Ryan Pratt was encouraged by his father to start his own company, leading to the creation of Guerrilla RF. His engineering background, with a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from North Carolina State University, has shaped his product-focused management philosophy.

The company operates on a fabless business model, outsourcing the manufacturing, production, and testing of its products to subcontractors primarily in Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines. This approach allows Guerrilla RF to focus on its in-house design, sales, and customer support functions. Revenue is generated through the sale of its extensive product catalog. The company went public in October 2021 through a reverse merger and currently trades on the OTCQX market. For the full year 2023, Guerrilla RF reported revenue of $15.1 million, a 30.2% increase from the previous year, with growth driven by automotive and satellite communications markets. As of Q1 2025, the company reported quarterly revenue of $4.4 million.

Guerrilla RF's business strategy is to target underserved niche markets that larger semiconductor companies often overlook. This "guerrilla" approach involves developing products for markets like small cells, automotive, satellite communications (SATCOM), cellular repeaters, military communications, and wireless backhaul. Its client base is diverse, serving over 500 customers worldwide. The company's product portfolio includes over 125 devices such as ultra-low noise amplifiers (LNAs), power amplifiers (PAs), gain blocks, mixers, and RF switches. These components are critical for enhancing coverage area and data rates in wireless systems, finding applications in 5G infrastructure, automotive telematics, and military/GPS systems.
