Large financial institutions surprisingly are good customers for new, still-untested computing technology.

I would not get surprised if Oxide next customers were a few giant banks and funds.

In my experience, some financial institutions have a very good understanding of risk.

They are able to identify, and most importantly, quantify risk in a way that many businesses cannot.

Consequently, they're able to take risks with new hardware/software that other companies shy away from.
