I'll have to read up on this a bit more, but it's piqued my interest at least.
Though unfortunately I can't say I trust a startup that states in their initial prospectus:

Total IPO funding in BTC: 11,200 BTC
Company valuation based on current exchange rate (1 BTC =
400 USD): $11.2M

Why? 4 million usd is a lot for a startup but 28nm nre costs are pretty expensive afaik.
Edit: 4 million actually sounds too much even for 28nm. Asicminer only needed to raise $200,000 or 5% of what they are asking
I suppose it was more 'tongue in cheek' than anything else. Consider it a prelude to the coming storm of "zomg so overvalued", and "their value iz waayy 2 high"
Whether or not raising $4M is needed, I don't know. My first thought was, "OK, they need money for R&D that doesn't include preorders...cool...but then what the hell was the Angel Seed Funding used for, especially to warrant a 30% stake?"
