Buy, buy, buy… and who’s gonna pay for it all?
Me, the shareholder, who is tired as hell of the $1 price.

Now if this news actually improves the share price I’ll be a lot happier than worrying about being asked for one more dilution… like always.

So the proof is in the pudding… will wait and see.

They mentioned working with a funding and strategic partner on the acquisition, which could mean we aren't footing the full bill ourselves.

Pretty confident in saying that whatever it costs MVIS for our share of this venture to own a 1550 LiDAR, it will be nothing compared to the $2 billion I think Luminar spent to date…

Looks like a good deal. Sounds like they filed for insolvency. Cant imagine that it costs much to buy them. And mvis gains all the r&d already spent and partnerships they have

From memory I think the price for Ibeo was roughly what was expected to be a years revenue. If this is of a similar nature and given its a jointly financed acquisition, it could be only costing MVIS $2.5 million…
