We at least know who is fabricating their product:

That's rather interesting because I had the impression that TSMC was really 
for people committing to huge volumes, with orders covered by highly secretive 
contracts, which isn't what you'd normally associate with a crowdfunding 
campaign. But maybe they like to keep their older foundries busy with smaller-
volume orders like this.

point for anyone looking for companies that do different things:
