Unsure if you want the real answer, but the financials on gitv2 will be much more appealing to a VC. Hardware is hard, slow, expensive, risky. Finally, China is the place to build physical things not the US.

What would "the financials" be on a git replacement? No one makes money on git itself. Probably not much even on the services around git, given that Microsoft funds github for its own reasons, and gitlab is constantly running out of money.

OSS as a GTM channel is well established, including amongst YC companies.

So the financial model is no different from any other SaaS. Whereas hardware is high risk capital intensive and China centric.
