We like to think 6-7 years ahead. It's a 'long journey' before they end up on NASDAQ. We [hope] to be able to see this idea when it's just on a napkin and a bunch of people in a house... give them their first check and believe in them." - @cyantist

All roads lead to American fabs. Congratulations @jamesproud and the @substrate team for achieving this milestone. You are the first believers. Thank you for your magically weird vision.

Substrate is building a next-generation foundry to return America to dominance in semiconductor production. To achieve this, we will use our technology—a new form of advanced X-ray lithography—to power them. America invented semiconductors. We will lead again.
