I'm not sure about "new" companies, but the market leader for lithography (Taiwanese HMI now owned by Dutch ASML) has major R&D in San Jose.

- Someone 6y agoAnd they don’t make real money, compared to the Apples, Facebooks and Googles of the world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASML_Holding https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASML_Holding says they had about 10 billion in revenues, 2½ billion in net income for about 18 billion in assets, for about 14% return on investment. That looks good, but they’re in a highly cyclical market; every recession, their sales more or less completely dry up, and those figures are for a good year. That’s why I can understand why investors aren’t lining up to invest in that kind of company.
