We don't praise angels enough. I'd like to take a moment to really shine a light on @ChrisOvitz. He was the true second believer in @substrate. He had so much conviction in them and @jamesproud. He deserves every minute today of success along with their team, as he got us all to
It's rare to find a company that reminds you of why you do what you do. @jamesproud and his bold mission @substrate did that for me. We are thrilled to be his second believer and are incredibly grateful for @ChrisOvitz for his original belief in James and introducing us to

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.

History repeatedly shows that American science and engineering solve impossible tasks. I started Substrate because I believed that this impossible task is one worth trying.
