Cooligy makes components and subsystems used to cool computer chips. As chips get smaller and faster, they also get much hotter; Cooligy touts its technology, which is used in some Apple computers, as providing better cooling in a smaller package when compared with traditional cooling methods. Smaller packaging means a larger competitive edge. The company was founded in 2002 and uses packaging technology developed at Stanford University. Emerson Network Power, a division of Emerson Electric, acquired Cooligy in 2005. Cooligy's investors included Granite Ventures, H.I.G. Ventures, Mayfield Fund, and Mohr, Davidow Ventures.
