Solid Financial Foundation Propels Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology
$4.1M
Non-dilutive funding awarded
Arizona State University spinout Crystal Sonic gained early momentum with significant non-dilutive funding, including NSF SBIR Phase I and II awards, NASA SBIR Phase I and II support, and DARPA funding. But with that influx of capital came a new layer of complexity: navigating federal compliance requirements, rigorous cost accounting standards, audit scrutiny, and multi-agency reporting obligations.
To ensure proper financial management, Crystal Sonic turned to EGC to build its financial and compliance infrastructure. EGC set up a comprehensive financial aproach—encompassing day-to-day financial operations and compliance oversight—facilitating alignment with federal regulations, strengthening internal controls, and maintaining continuous audit readiness. By providing fully outsourced accounting support, EGC is enabling the Crystal Sonic team to stay focused on advancing their technology.
Today, Crystal Sonic is well on its way to commercializing its patented “Sonic Lift-off” technology, which uses acoustic waves to separate ultra-thin semiconductor layers—dramatically reducing material waste and cost. With a strong financial foundation in place, the company is positioned to deliver more efficient and sustainable manufacturing at scale to support the rapidly growing semiconductor industry.
“I have been very impressed with the standard of work and level of communication I have with our ECG contacts. Both are very diligent, responsive and supportive.”
