For Venk:

Why is Nusym going to succeed when others who have tried to automate

         ----    ----    ----    ----    ----    ----   ----

To Venk:

1. What is an intelligent testbench?

2. With simulation farms, can we keep constrained random going forever?

3. What does Nusym do?

         ----    ----    ----    ----    ----    ----   ----

Does the world need yet another verification company?

         ----    ----    ----    ----    ----    ----   ----

Even if we assume your technology is good, how do you compete with
"free" as part of "all you can eat" deal given by the Big 3?

         ----    ----    ----    ----    ----    ----   ----

What is your exit strategy?
