They claim to have a pipeline of over 400 million dollars in prospective sales.
"The Business Combination marks a major milestone for Blaize as it continues building its transformative new compute solution that unites silicon and software to optimize AI from the edge to the core. Blaize has strong traction with over $400 million in a qualified pipeline of prospective customers it expects to engage in 2025 and a global footprint with Tier 1 supply chain relationships.
Food for thought, on how we "could" be received coming on to the NASDAQ, with no real traction happening, if things are still not moving, due to ASX "throttling"..

There has already been a lot of debate about Brn redomiciling, Some say that it’s a great idea and some say not.
I am concerned about the fact that Brn have so far shown very little progress with revenue. Yes, I know that there are partnerships and Akida is being used in a variety of products and that interest is building but the SP keeps falling. Quite honestly I believe that most SH are currently waiting on progress but it just keeps getting delayed for various reasons.
I believe that if we vote for Brn to move to US exchange we will lose the ability to interact and have a say in the company’s future. I believe management needs to prove to the SH that we have a strong future. So far, in my opinion, they have not.
Now, I would be all for the move if our current SP was $2-$3 but at 20 cents, no way.
I have held shares in a company that did a share reconciliation and that turned out to be a disaster. All that happened was that the SP was driven down further but instead of having 100,000 shares you now had 5,000.
With the SP being at its current level, it would be disastrous to allow such a move.
I know some people will come at me for daring to state such negativity but we have to look at this honestly.
If Brn have a solid contract that would warrant such a move then ok let’s hear it but if it’s just in the hope that it will make it better, no way.
If at the AGM the SP is still as it is currently then I’m voting NO and urge others to do so.
Just my opinion.

All the BOD has done the last few years is screw us SH when it’s come to announcements and keeping us more informed then I think they can.
So come on BOD give us a roadmap or something they will satisfy us shareholders because atm it’s looking dire

Can't see how Loihi can beat us. Intel Loihi at the moment is only a research chip so it's not for commercial use.
Good to trial and compare with others such as AKIDA but that is about it.

One thing for sure whenever shorts become active brainchip have a news or two to support them. Like last time when they started their act , Antonio told us sp will do what it has to do. Then we are out of asx 200 and pressure build on holders, shorters close some positions, then again company make a credit raise and more than 2% shorts closed their position in a day. But Sean was telling us new institutions investors will be on board after this CR.Good luck you folks in the cyclones path.

Now they increased their activity since last month and we got that unnecessary news of Anil no more a substantial holder even the same news was given in 2023, there was a lot of pressure on sp and then come out annual report, no one was expecting more than what they told us but accompany that with another on market sell off of 40 million shares and a plan to redomicile to US without any plans, how it will be materialized.
So all these circumstances I can only hope team brainchip is on our side and not the other way around.
Hope sustains life, but think rationally why they cannot find anyone better than LDA all the times?, do we need the same CFO without getting through any better financial deals? Matter of fact we are paying our CFO more than a million dollars in salary with a revenue of less than .4 million, with a work force of less than 70 persons and all the times making mistakes on asx announcements.
I think without a result we may need to change the whole team brainchip.

Maybe they have no intention of doing it this year but instead
were just looking to see what sort of support they would get before the AGM.
Which i will say is not very much with an SP of 20c.
Remember the forum is a very small % of shareholders.
There is 43000 and i am sure there was a lot of those bought in over $1.
Looking for a nice boost first.
One must be realistic ..... IMO, the decision / issue to relocate to the USA, has most likely already been made by the Top 20 s/holders.... this newly raised issue is just imo another deflection from the real issues at hand of there being no IP deals being made before this upcoming AGM.

Maybe the company will surprise us with something special to create a massive short squeeze, but then again this is Brainchip and I’m expecting more negative news like dropping out of the asx 300

Hi Meatloaf.
My twopennysworth.
Appreciate the sentiment but really don't think that being listed in Australia has allowed us much of a say in the company's future so far.
Yes, once or twice a year we get a meet and greet and an opportunity for a quick fang flash and a hearty handshake, which wouldn't be afforded us without the ASX listing, but frankly, so far, it hasn't really eventuated into much beyond that, and is reflected in our dismal share price.
Yes, it affords us, because it is mandated, a couple of seats on the board, but with no disrespect intended, I don't see that has brought us much value either and consider them as pretty much place holders and figure heads.
I know the company is making headway with expanding eco systems and we have received some solid endorsements from quite a few heavy hitter's but the fact remains that the company is in effect a black hole hoovering up considerable dollars in order to continue existing and producing very little of tangible benefit in return, apart from those drawing a pay check.
Granted, this is just how it is for pre revenue start ups in the tech world, particularly when they are introducing something radical and paradigm shifting.
But, the bottom line gets reached, sooner or later, for both we as individuals and ultimately for the company, as an entity itself.
Whilst Peter VDM was still actively involved dreaming up the tech and steering the bus from Western Australia it was understandable and an historic fact that we were listed on the ASX, but those days are well and truly past tense.
All that's left here now, apart from our large retail share holder base are the dried remnants of the previous institute and some relatively weak educational and minor industrial applications which, whilst welcome, are unlikely to make us a viable concern.
If the Board decides we are better served by redomiciing to the US I think it prudent for us to back them.
For all our intelligence, dot joining and assumptions, none of us are privy to what they know and are aware of regarding both BrainChip's opportunitys and obstacles.
Beyond the access to a larger overall market I think it likely being based in America will give us more credibility and credence, particularly among American investors and American players and companies which are likely to be our way forward.
Australia is a very minor player in the worlds affairs and whilst we may punch above our weight and all that, from a global standpoint, both economically and industrially, the ASX is a pygmy.
I think we all assumed this move would occur sooner or later and would prefer it under more favourable conditions, but again will state the obvious.
If we indeed managed to stamp our little foot and vote down this stated major objective of the Board, where exactly would that leave us?
I fear with a perhaps rudderless, certainly demoralised leadership group, handicapped by their own share holders.
Not a good position from which to move forward.

And maybe the at the AGM Sean will give heart felt speech with some truths in it.
What was said last year... something like we are close. Well at 51 I guess I am close to 100 in comparison to being close to 0.
Bravo
If ARM was an arm, BRN would be its biceps💪!
Hi Xray, I don’t think that the decision would have already been made by the Top 20. Tech posted recently that the “retail shareholder base currently holds 58.633% verses the Top 20 with 41.367%.”
I believe the BOD will need somewhere between 50%-75% of shareholders to vote “yes” for successful approval, in which case they will be relying on a great deal of us to get behind it.
I guess we have to ask ourselves why the BOD would even bother putting such a risky proposal forward, if the SP is still in the doldrums and if no other licences, cornerstone investors or other such positive news emerges beforehand, because as I’ve said before, that would have to be the most recklessly stupid idea I’ve ever heard of.
I hope that we receive some positive news of a material nature beforehand. If however, the BOD are simply planning on revealing a “detailed roadmap” (refer to Annual Report) of commercialisation goals, to try and sway us to approve, and if there is nothing genuinely material other than just a roadmap, then I will be seriously unimpressed, and that would be a massive understatement.

Nine weeks remain until the AGM, and the announcement about relocating to the U.S. stock exchange appears to be a calculated attempt to divert shareholders’ attention from the core issue.
The crux of the matter lies in Sean’s five-year plan failing to deliver the anticipated results after more than three years into the plan.
They assert that the relocation will take nine to twelve months, conveniently providing management with another AGM and another year to evade delivering substantial revenue or new IP sales.
Brainchip’s decision to execute LDA following such disheartening announcements further highlights the poor management of our company.
