Remember, we are talking about seed stage companies, the money from an Angel will help get at least a prototype out the door... and some PR depending on the Ang

  Getting a processor/ASIC taped out and fabricated, even if you use MOSIS, it not cheap. As I understand it, the cost of the necessary seat licenses for the design and verification tools would be beyond what we think of normal (non-Space X/Tesla) angel investments, even syndicated. So, again, I ask "what class[es] of hardware companies would angels have enough money to make a difference in"? Or to repeat a question I've been pounding on, where will the next thing in the class of the FPGA come from? As far as I can tell, the answer for the US is that "the future isn't going to be invented here".
