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.

https://oxide.computer/ Finally some serious innovation on Server Hardware side

What is the innovation? Their website is devoid of content about what they are building other than a string of buzzwords?

>We are building a new kind of server.

>True rack-scale design, bringing cloud hyperscale innovations around density, efficiency, cost, reliability, manageability, and security to everyone running on-premises compute infrastructure.

Edge Impulse - embedded (Tiny) ML GitHub-like platform. Just incredible. (https://edgeimpulse.com)

OnlineTown - Well executed spatial chat with a playful videogame interface. I think they've been posted about on here before. (https://theonline.town)

Neosensory (ok, it's a company I co-founded) - we do consumer sensory augmentation. Our first product, Buzz, is a haptic sensory substitution wristband that translates sound to touch in real-time. Also has a developer API. (https://neosensory.com)

I had the same thought re: buying stock. It seems like there is, if you're super rich (accredited investor): https://equityzen.com/company/sifive/

Not much use to normal plebs. The recent changes to the accredited investor definition are nice, but I do wish there was a reasonable way for normal people to get accredited. Especially for a non us person like me, it's not really reasonable to go do the professional exams they require. And ofc I haven't got the money to qualify by wealth. It does seem supremely unfair to cut off the most lucrative investments on the planet to people who aren't already the richest people.on the planet.
