I think they don't have a rich enough VC friend, and they need a kick up the arse before (to be blunt) they get too old.

Ivan was saying that they weren't sure about how to get money, and then someone quite rightfully pointed out that this is probably the most liquid time in years for funding startups.

Mill team if you're reading this: Get your IP sorted out then open source everything, then start talking to VCs aggressively. Not the other way round because everyone thinks you're either a joke or a group of fantasists.

Cool ISA, hopeless execution. Where's the FPGA model?

The mill folks don't care for investment. Most of them are already very rich. They also aren't big on openness: they have a ton of patents.

What’s their end game? Do they ever want a product?
