Edit: Ah I see Cult of Mac quoted Hauser. Well Hauser was a director of Acorn at the time. Also Robin Saxby talks about Apple and Acorn investing $1.5m and VLSI $250k so with some shares for staff that would be about 43%.
- zimpenfish 6y agotl;dr: 43% might be right. Saxby talks about £1.5M from Apple and according to https://fxtop.com/en/historical-currency-converter.php?A=1500000&C1=GBP&C2=USD&DD=27&MM=11&YYYY=1990&B=1&P=&I=1&btnOK=Go%21 https://fxtop.com/en/historical-currency-converter.php?A=150..., £1.5M is just about $3M which I guess clears up the $3M number.
- klelatti 6y agoI actually checked companies house but sadly the company (the original Arm Holdings) concerned no longer exists!
