Hear me out- artisanal DRAM.

Every transistor carefully hand-wired with love, giving each bit its own individual characteristic, for more organic, natural data.

You've cracked the funding problem!

You need to sell the artisanal DRAM to HiFi hucksters. Get Monster Cable on board to say their cables can only reach peak warmth, punch, and clarity - when using gear with artisanal DRAM. You'll easily sell into that market at $10k per GB...

This existed and it was called LOL memory (little old lady memory). It was knitted by little old ladies, being careful of which wires passed through which cores of course. It was ROM, not RAM.

Some early memory was woven: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Core_rope_memory

We could bring it back.
