Went back and had a closer look at LDN comment's re SocioNext. WJ

.".....The manufacturing or the development process has gone exceptionally well -- very, very strong team, both in San Jose here in California as well as in Shinyokohama in Japan. We couldn't be happier. Our team works very, very well with them. But we have had significant discussions about how to broaden that relationship, now that we're going to go away for fab. They build ASICs. They're the second largest ASIC supplier in the world, only behind Broadcom. They would be a phenomenal channel for us to have our IP block in their menu of alternatives that they can present to their customers for neural network embedded in SoCs or ASICs."

This does sound very promising, since the potential benefits appear considerable to both businesses. If Lou can pull this off, if it's not money in BRN's bank in the short term, then it lends considerable validity to Akida going forward anyway, and SocioNext gets to value add some pretty amazing neuromorphic IP into other customers chips.
