Wind River software is used in conjunction with embedded, or hidden, microprocessors that make up over 90% of all computer chips sold today. Embedded systems made up of hardware and software are found in numerous end products from laser printers to automotive braking systems to control panels in fighter jets. Wind River allows customers to create reliable, complex, real-time applications more quickly and with less risk than creating such applications internally.

about Wind River Ventures
"Wind River Ventures is the corporate venture capital arm of Wind River. The group invests in early-stage technology companies that are enabling the next generation of connected, smart devices. Target companies are in the areas of wireless communications, data/optical networking, semiconductors, communications software, Internet appliance devices, and other high-growth opportunities that are strategically aligned with Wind River."
"Wind River Ventures targets early stage, mezzanine, and pre-IPO companies, which have reached the prototype stage, have a complete business plan, and a seasoned management team in place. While the financial return is very important to us, target portfolio companies should demonstrate that there is a substantive technological and/or market synergy with Wind River's business, and that the company and Wind River can leverage each others capabilities to exploit the market opportunity. Any company that develops and/or incorporates the use of smart software solutions is a candidate for funding. Our typical investments range from $500,000 to $2,000,000, although at times we will consider larger opportunities."
