I wonder if any doomed startups will order a rack from Oxide Computer. I hope Oxide's primary customer base is established companies that actually need serious efficiency at scale.

Does it matter? If there's an infinite supply of VC-funded startups it doesn't matter whether those startups ultimately succeed - Oxide gets paid upfront either way. If anything, companies burning money by buying your stuff for hype reasons without actually making much use of it is probably better with regards to support queries/warranty claims than those actually making serious use of the equipment.
