BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Frangipani]

Cecilia Pisano from Nurjana Technologies has repeatedly liked BrainChip posts on LinkedIn, and hence her Sardinia-based company has been mentioned by several forum members as potentially playing with Akida:

Three weeks ago, Cecilia Pisano shared on LinkedIn that Nurjana Technologies had been “applying Brainchip Akida to real use cases for more than 1 year”, when she commented on a post by Arijit Mukherjee from TCS .

At the time, her profile picture already signalled that she were #Opentowork. However, her posts about being “incredibly proud to be part of Nurjana Technologies” and her involvement in several recent company projects had suggested to me she might be looking for an additional part-time role rather than a new full-time role.

Today, she posted on LinkedIn about “taking a well-deserved break to focus on personal projects” and that it felt like “the perfect time to work on a patent and prototype a new idea”, but said that at the same time she were “actively exploring new opportunities in technology strategy, research and development”.

She also uploaded her CV, in which she detailed what kind of work she had done during her time as R&D Lead Engineer at Nurjana Technologies before resigning recently, part of which was “developing advanced optical payloads for satellites and drones, including event-based cameras and neuromorphic processors.”

It will be interesting to follow up on what she will end up doing in the coming months.

Founding her own startup is one option as well:

Will her wish to see an Akida 2.0 reference chip be granted?
To date, our CTO has not replied to her comment.
It seems Cecilia Pisano has something specific in mind she could very well use it for…

About four months ago, we found out from Cecilia Pisano that her then-employer, Sardinia-based Nurjana Technologies, had been “applying Brainchip Akida to real use cases for more than 1 year”.

During her time as R&D Lead Engineer at Nurjana Technologies, she developed “advanced optical payloads for satellites and drones, including event-based cameras and neuromorphic processors”, among other things.

Cecilia Pisano has since left the company to take “a well-deserved break to focus on personal projects” , which includes “leading development, patenting, and commercialization of an advanced interactive device, managing all phases from concept through market launch” as a self-employed innovator (https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-cecilia-pisano-6924a9321/), but her former employer continues to pursue space research involving event-based cameras paired with neuromorphic processors.

Four days ago, Nurjana Technologies posted a job ad for an “AI Engineer - Neuromorphic Processors & Event-Based Vision for Robotic and Space Systems”, in which Akida gets a mention.

Note, though, that despite having been very happy with Akida’s performance over the past ~1.5 years (judging from Cecilia Pisano’s likes and comments on LinkedIn), the team at Nurjana Technologies seems to have a very open mind about also evaluating other neuromorphic processors besides Akida for their “work on cutting-edge neuromorphic vision systems in mission-critical domains”:

I loaded up at 15.8 and 16 on the last big dip.
I doubt it will drop this far or even anywhere near 17. Lots of hungry hippos now wanting to much on those little red balls .... Me included. I'll top up to a nice round number holding if I get a chance. Let's see what all this fuss is about and not speculate too much. Plus plus for me. More money for brainchip, dilution yes but need cash in bank, and who cares when we hit the mark very soon and go ballistic.

 

[Sirod69]

Yes, very exciting, I'm excited to see what's coming.

Manny100, you said everyone knows a capital raise is coming, bet you did,nt know this quick. Shorters with 130 million plus shorted, old mate said don’t you worry I’ll pull yahs out of the shit just like last time, I’ll issues more of shareholders hard earned how may do you Shorters (SOPHISTICATED INVESTORS) Need. I have a few bonus’s I need to pay the directors they won’t mind if I screw over the retail investors again as long as they get there free allocation. Notice the straight up in the air shorted since Hehir had his investor meeting. SOLD US OUT FOR SURE.

Its either raise or go out of business. Simple choice.
I think you have forgotten that the share price surged around 150% within months of the last institutional and retail raise.
We are certainly far more more advanced now client wise and tech wise than then.

 

[MDhere]

Just found some more money so maybe another placement for .16

Where you growing the money trees or other trees?

 

[Sirod69]

Trading is expected to resume beginning November 10th – or as soon as the company makes its announcement. It will then become clear whether the capital measure is perceived as a lifeline or a further burden.
For BrainChip investors, the wait for the next price movement begins.

 

[manny100]

Neuromorphic will be huge for the US DOD simply because its precision etc allows them to become involved in military activities with minimal troops on the ground via unmanned craft, land, marine, air and robotics.
Its the troops on the ground that causes most of the political angst in the US.

 

[Pom down under]

Where you growing the money trees or other trees?

Holiday spending money

 

[Galaxycar]

Just figured out what the capital raise is for.
Sean due to his 9million in bookings has had to have a wage increase to 9million per year to match, only fair right
To hedge against inflation and due to cost of living management and director have had to have a 23% increase in wages and bonuses
To retain Sales staff we have found through exit surveys have indicated they were sick of flying first class around the world to attend conferences and associated meetings we have decide to upgrade all future trips to business class and 5 star resorts.
As our business has grown expeditiously having moved from our offices in Perth to flee from angry shareholders, we moved to our expensive new offices in Sydney at great expence, we found that that did,nt work and the shareholders at our AGM,S were angrier, so again outlayed a couple more million we moved our office to the USA, hoping our shareholders would forget they actually owned shares.
We management that is,have further decided that our once a year jolly to meet our shorter mates needed a bit more pernazz so we really went the whole hog this year selling off shareholder shares at a discounted rate, but still the shorters we’re,nt happy with us so we have decided to give them all 100k worth of gifts and gratuities, thought we might give them a heap of old AKIDA products each as they were,nt selling for attending the meeting and a big bag to carry around all thier newly found wealth.They love us guys they really do! We had to keep them on our good side.
Then we worked out how much we had left for and decided we needed a new coffee machine for the office, really nice touch that was.
Ok so now moving forward to 2026, Shit we have run out of money. Fuck need another capital raise! Have to hit the shareholders up this time that bunch of suckers will plough money in again.
Now this is a far fetched way of seeing Brainchips quarterly directors meetings but as a shareholder sick of seeing all the bullshit and fluff might as well be the truth. DYOR and take this in the tongue and cheek it is intended,but hey if I’m gunna think management are fuck heads might as well go the whole hog. They sure are taking the piss out of us shareholders

I can’t see it being for production of Akida 1500 as that don’t start till October 2026 and I doubt if there will be much in the way of any up front fee for these to the fabricators

What the heck?

Possibly our closest competitor demos first silicon for state space models?…

The article says “Neuromorphic chip startup Applied Brain Research (ABR) has received samples of its first commercial hardware: a state-space network accelerator. The company has A0 silicon up and running in their lab, with an automatic speech recognition application running in 35 mW with 120 ms latency and 10% word error“.

Do we have any performance metrics to compare to this?

Yes it’s

 

[Sirod69]

ABR and BrainChip are distinct companies that signed a joint development and marketing agreement in 2016.
This partnership allows BrainChip to be part of the ABR software ecosystem, and ABR's Nengo software can be used to develop models for the Akida hardware, among other platforms.

Tough crowd, I thought Sean new slogan YOU CAN BANK ON IT!!! For 2026 was a fantastic phrase. Was a fantastic achievement for the year we payed him what 6million for WATCH US NOW!!!. For 2025 best work he has done all year, hey thought IT’S OUR YEAR was a bit of a fizzier for 2024 but hey for 6million/year what do you expect. Give the guy a break.
