About Starblaze

Starblaze Technology (忆芯科技), established in late 2015 as an independent spin-out of Memblaze's ASIC unit, designs enterprise and client SSD controllers and turnkey storage solutions. Headquartered in Beijing with R&D in Shanghai, Chengdu, and Hsinchu, its product line includes NVMe controllers such as STAR1000/STAR1000P and later PCIe Gen4/Gen5 families (e.g. STAR2000/STAR1500) for data-center and AI storage applications. The firm raised Series A through C funding from investors including Shenzhen Capital Group and Qualcomm Ventures to advance domestic enterprise SSD controller IP.
