Here's a very fair question, if you believe that our company will finally, yes finally show revenues that outpace expenses by the 3rd quarter of 2026, no matter from what source, for example, high speed boats that Donald's boy failed to stop across the Pacific etc, well please post a laugh....

Just trying to lighten the mood, many are feeling the pressure of the market at present, that's a very fair assumption.

To be perfectly honest, with no revenue and capital raisings, it's sort of understandable that we currently sit south of 0 20...hang in there, progress is being made and yes, I'm quietly peeved as well.

Tech

as a small bit of insight and 20 / 20 vision I have held stocks then dumped them when they fell south .....
only to see them fricken fly a short time after I sold them

So we invested in this company because we thought the tech was something good for the future ,
for the world as a whole, power saving, cheaper and better, smarter , whatever you thought ,
so hang on to that thought ..
Because if you sell that's it, you are done, and probably at a loss.
just hang in there another 6 months and see just how good it gets.

only up from here

Great !!

@Diogenese

If you could find time, can you pls run your eye over this patent that just popped up by SNAP Inc, you know, Snapchat etc parent company.

The old "Brainchip Akida is a fast learner" article gets listed in the cited info amongst some other citations.

Any relevance as a nod to inspiration for this patent lodgement, cross over of thinking, design etc or just std protocol?

Cheers

Something I’ve always found very odd is that the job openings listed on the BrainChip website tend to differ from those listed by our company on LinkedIn. Why not post all open positions in both places?

There are currently two job openings listed on the BrainChip website, one of which has been up for ages, namely that for “Sales Director US/Bay Area”, which I first spotted almost a year ago, back in early January. (https://thestockexchange.com.au/threads/brn-discussion-ongoing.1/post-445809).
It has since been reposted several times. However, it appears no suitable candidate has yet been found.





A similar job ad was recently posted on LinkedIn, but this time round it was an opening for a “US Sales Manager” in Washington, DC.

Turns out, though, the description is more or less just a copy & paste from the “Sales Director US/Bay Area” job ad, with two marked differences:

“This position must be located on the East Coast.”

“Expectation to complete at least two contract/deal within your first year of employment.” (Note that for the “Sales Director US/Bay Area” position it was merely one - whoever did the copy & paste and then made the changes evidently forgot to put “contract/deal” into the plural!)

The job description itself refers to the position being that of a “Sales Manager/Director”, adding “This position is a pivotal member of the sales team, reporting directly to the VP of Global Sales”. That phrase was actually taken verbatim from the “Sales Director US/Bay Area job ad”. Weirdly, it even says under “Market Expansion”: “Develop and implement strategic sales plans to achieve sales targets and expand BrainChip's IP adoption in the US/Bay Area market.”

So is it just sloppy proofreading once again or is this new East Coast-based position actually meant to be a replacement for the yet-to-be-filled role of “Sales Director US/Bay Area” (presently still listed as open on the BrainChip website) rather than an additional sales position lower in hierarchy?

Which in turn would beg the question: Why the sudden shift of focus from Silicon Valley to Washington, DC? Is it the geographical closeness to the seat of the US Government and/or to defense or civilian government contractors in the Beltway (ie Virginia and Maryland) that is so enticing?

Or has our management team made out a new market opportunity represented by specific (other) industries/companies located (primarily) on the East Coast?

Some readers might readily associate “East Coast” and “company” with Boston Dynamics, but as I’ve mentioned before, Boston Dynamics have their own Robotics and AI Institute (https://rai-inst.com), with plenty of AI experts in their two offices in Cambridge, MA and Zurich, Switzerland. They would know how to reach out for assistance if needed.
