SiFive [1] "SiFive is the first company to produce a chip that implements the RISC-V ISA" I think they have a bright future ahead. If there was a way to buy their stock / invest in them, I would. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SiFive

Great team there :) They should do a kickstarter for general purpose RISC-V CPU + Board I bet they would raise 200-300 mil.

That's 10x the largest Kickstarter to date, so might be a bit unrealistic, especially considering that what you are proposing isn't an end-user product.

How many boards+chips do you think such a Kickstarter campaign would sell, and at what price point?
