Broadcom: The Acquisition Machine That Ate Silicon Valley

From the forgotten labs of HP to a trillion-dollar titan, Broadcom’s story reads like tech’s ultimate power play—one built not on wild innovation, but on ruthless consolidation and financial savvy. Under the relentless drive of Hock Tan, Broadcom engineered Silicon Valley’s anti-hero model: buying category leaders, slashing costs, and building an empire in “boring” but essential connectivity, networking, and infrastructure software. Each acquisition, from LSI to VMware, redefined what it means to win in tech—not by chasing moonshots, but by controlling the tollbooths of the digital world. Dive deeper to see how Broadcom quietly became the backbone of everything connected, and why its unique playbook is shaking up the future of chips, software, and the AI revolution.
