For fabless companies · Chip program + compliance agents
01Win DSH capacity and foundry allocation priority
02Keep full visibility and control over your chip programs
03Stay 100% compliant and audit-ready at all times
04Get your engineering time back

JINZO optimizes your allocation priority, accelerates your operations, and auto-maintains your compliance posture with program + compliance agents — while you do nothing different from your current workflows and communications.

Built with current design service house CTOs and chip program directors with decades of direct operating experience & decision making from VeriSilicon, Nvidia, Broadcom, Etron, TM Technology, and more.

You keep 100% control and visibility over every email, message, compliance update, and decision — even when a DSH is running the program. The agents surface, draft, and route; you and your experts make every call.

The JINZO platform

Operations, communications, & compliance agents — designed for semiconductor, controlled by you.

Most fabless teams do not realize they are in a competition. A handful of top DSHs hold the foundry relationships, the scarce senior engineers, and the capacity — and every fabless company is competing for the same best capacity, the same A-team, and the same terms. The most prepared, most legible, lowest-risk customer wins. JINZO makes you that customer, then keeps your leadership in live control of the program from first contact to shipped units — without adding a program ops or compliance ops hire.

One mechanic runs underneath all of it. Agents sit in the workflows and tools you already use, capture every relevant message and document into one structured record, extract key data, version-check working documents, and screen everything for export control. That record runs the program. Your semiconductor leadership oversees and signs the engineering calls; export counsel signs the compliance calls. The agents never decide anything consequential on their own.

Allocation priority

Be the customer a top DSH puts first.

A DSH gives its best capacity, senior engineers, and terms to the customer who is fundable, legible, decisive, and low-risk to serve. JINZO assembles exactly that, off the record it is already keeping — so you walk in prepared and come out prioritized.

Shaped directly with design service house executives & customer-services leadership, with decades of customer priority decision-making and delivery operations at VeriSilicon, Etron, TM Technology, and more.

With JINZO

Live DSH readiness score

See how a top DSH sees you across the dimensions that decide priority — funding and runway, repeat-business roadmap, program management, decision velocity, compliance posture, and spec cleanliness — and exactly what to fix before you reach out.

One source of truth

Your chip spec, the end-customer PRD, and every document sit in one versioned place, so the DSH is never chasing inconsistent files.

Standardized intake

Export your docs and specs into the clean, structured form a DSH can ingest without re-keying — which earns a faster quote and better terms.

Sorted compliance posture

Export classification and a technology control plan on file — removing risk the DSH would otherwise price against you.

Program visibility & control

Full visibility and control over every program — even when a DSH runs it.

On top of the same record, JINZO runs the day-to-day coordination across your design house, foundry, test, and vendors, and gives your CEO and CTO a live view of all of it. You operate like you have a program office, without making the hire — and you never wait for a status update again.

With JINZO
  • Handoffs across every partner are tracked automatically, so nothing stalls waiting on an email.
  • Drift in yield, schedule, or specification is surfaced early, while there is still time to act.
  • Routine updates are drafted; the hard calls are routed to the right person. You stay in control of every decision.
  • A live program feed and portfolio view let leadership answer an investor's tape-out question from the record, on the spot.
  • Your most senior engineer stays on the chip instead of running operations.
The JINZO program view: many chip programs in one view — each message triaged, routed, and ranked, with at-risk and blocked programs surfaced to the top.

System of Compliance

Audit-ready by default, and dynamically updated with every regulatory change.

Every screening, classification, document, and sign-off lands in one live record — the compliance core of your whole program. What used to be a scramble to reconstruct under deadline is simply there, current, and ready to share.

With JINZO
  • Export control, built into every interaction. Continuous restricted-party screening, EAR classification, and deemed-export checks run automatically — and re-run as the rules change — so your compliance posture stays current without you touching it.
  • Program state and compliance trail in one place your whole team shares.
  • Audit-ready by default to unblock compliance requirements — whether the gate is a BIS audit, a customer qualification, or investor diligence. Every change, version, and decision captured the moment it happens.
  • Access level control across the entire chip program — by person, party, and classification — so the right people see the right things, and controlled data stays controlled even when a DSH is running the program.
  • Nothing to migrate and nothing to rebuild later. The record builds itself as the work happens.
  • Access to Big Law export counsel to sign off determinations, at startup pricing. Coming soon.

The math

What it costs to run this by hand.

$250K+ / hire
The minimum cost of each program ops or compliance ops hire — that you could reallocate to your chip-production runway with JINZO.
10–20 hrs / week
Senior engineering and founder time lost every week to coordination, version chasing, and compliance prep — time JINZO gives back to the chip.
$5–20M
A single mask respin set off by a stale file or a missed handoff — before counting three-plus months of schedule slip.
up to $324K / penalty
Top civil penalty per export-control violation; a criminal case adds $1M fines and prison. One missed screen is company-ending risk.
