This is a very interesting product from the great Chuck Moore that needs a "killer app" to take off. I wish I had time to invest in it...

What's interesting is how different this company is from the idea of a startup that most of us here have in our heads. Just look at the team and try to figure out what the average age of the company is:

I wonder if this has something to do with the fact that chip design requires a lot of experience or the fact that these people just happen to be in great Chuck Moore's professional network. Or likely both.



I think both. Plus consumer web applications and consumer smart phone apps and social media apps are some kind of fashion among young people. (I am 35 years old and even I feel the generational differences from younger folks a bit.) Older folks are not so sensitive to fashions.

Edit: or maybe every generation have a love affair with the topic which is the 'next big thing' of their youth? Maybe in 2040 a social media startup will be founded by old folks, while the young guys will be enhusiastic about something completely different? My father is a mechanical engineer, I am a programmer, maybe my son will have the profession regarding the 'next big thing'.


Or, we have the domain experience of social and mobile. Many don't have the domain experience of... say health care.
