Her first startup was Prism Circuits, which created high-speed mixed-signal Phys and Controllers. Prism grew to multi-million dollars in revenue and was acquired by Mosys in 2009. At Mosys, Mitra was the Executive Vice President of Engineering and delivered serial memory SoCs. In 2011, she founded NetSpeed Systems, a system-on-a-chip fabric IP company.
