Hi Realinfo.
Whilst you continue to posit your theme that will find a lot of empathy with share holders, allow me make a few counter points.
As you say, the corporate culture (of entitlement) pervades the corporate community worldwide.
Yet you seem to expect us to somehow buck this trend and only offer a fraction of what is the going rate?
I don't think this is going to work in the competitive arena of either engineering talent or managerial expertise.
The remuneration being sought and paid our executive staff is (according to Antonio) commensurate with that demanded and paid to their contemporaries engaged by similar sized organisations in the worldwide marketplace that we compete in.
You won't entice and retain a world class board such as we have now by offering less than what is the going rate for people with the commensurate level of experience, expertise and valuable connections that have been garnered by careers engaged in appropriate prior employment.
We need people who are at the right stage of their career, neither too young (and so lacking seasoning, experience and relevant connections), nor too old, running out of vigour and without the drive and strength to birth and grow our concept commercially.
We are developing and growing a company with a revolutionary product line in a rapidly evolving and highly competitive cutting edge field of technical expertise, which is still in it's nascent stage of becoming.
The very field we are engaged in is still coming into existence.
We are not merely digging up rocks and shipping them overseas, nor just skimming cream off transactions, (renting at 4%, lending at 8%, and on the green by 2

), we are engaged in the next
big thing.
The widespread integration and adoption of AI into our lives is coming now and will radically transform societies and how we live and operate within them. And Brainchip has a stated intent to be one of the major player's in this arena.
I want and am prepared to pay for, competent, enlightened, ethical and highly motivated people running our Company whilst we achieve this not insignificant goal.
