Founder-LedChip-to-Cloud Expertise

Two industry veterans bringing 40+ years combined experience directly to your chip-to-cloud challenges— no junior consultants, no delegation, just proven expertise.

Our Story

Why two chip-to-cloud veterans decided to do consulting differently

Throughout our careers spanning semiconductors, automotive, and cloud infrastructure, we kept seeing the same expensive failures repeat: chip makers advertising "cloud-ready" silicon where firmware secure boot conflicts with cloud certificate provisioning—discovered only during pilot deployment, device makers realizing their power budget can't support both cellular connectivity and edge ML processing, and industrial companies stuck with fragmented vendor ecosystems where EU Cyber Resilience Act compliance becomes a last-minute €500K crisis.

The problem wasn't lack of technology—it was the knowledge gap between silicon and cloud. Semiconductor companies excel at chip design but lack cloud integration expertise. Cloud consultancies understand AWS but can't write embedded firmware. This gap costs companies millions in delays, failed reference designs, and integration rework.

We founded Edge Pulsar to bridge this divide—bringing embedded systems, connectivity, and cloud expertise under one roof, delivered directly by founders who've shipped production systems from silicon evaluation kits to cloud-scale deployments.

What Makes Us Different

We chose a founder-led model that prioritizes depth over scale

Founders Deliver, Not Delegate

Both founders remain hands-on throughout every engagement. You're not passed to junior consultants after the sales pitch—you get 40+ years of experience on every technical decision.

Proven Production Experience

We've shipped systems at scale, not just written PowerPoint. Every architecture pattern we recommend has been battle-tested in production deployments with real devices and real users.

Honest Technology Scoping

We focus on 4 core industries where our chip-to-cloud expertise delivers maximum impact. When projects need specialized capabilities beyond our core, we bring in trusted partners rather than overpromising.

European + Global Perspective

Headquartered in France with experience across Europe and North America—we understand both EU regulatory requirements (CRA, GDPR, NIS2) and global market dynamics.

Our Founder-Led Model

Strategic leverage through proven accelerators and selective partnerships

As a founder-led consultancy, both founders remain directly involved in strategic architecture decisions, technology selection, and critical implementation guidance throughout every engagement. This ensures senior-level expertise drives outcomes—not just sales presentations.

To scale our impact while maintaining quality, we leverage proven accelerators (reference designs, validated architecture patterns, security frameworks) and strategic partnerships with domain specialists for specialized capabilities (regulatory certification, manufacturing operations, security audits) while retaining architecture authority.

Founder involvement in strategic planning and architecture decisions

Proven

Reusable accelerators compress delivery timelines by 40-60%

Selective

Vetted specialist network for capabilities beyond core expertise

This model allows us to serve clients at scale through standardized methodologies and battle-tested patterns, while founders provide strategic oversight and technical authority throughout—ensuring 45+ years of chip-to-cloud experience guides every critical decision.

Proven Accelerators

Reusable reference implementations, validated architecture patterns, and security frameworks developed from production deployments—reducing discovery and integration time by 40-60%.

Strategic Partnerships

Vetted network of domain specialists (certification labs, security auditors, manufacturing experts) extends our capabilities while founders maintain architecture authority and strategic oversight.
