Simplify's take
What believers are saying

- May 2025 NASA Phase II SBIR validates ZeroV and opens follow-on space hardware revenue.

- Matt Keechi and Eric Long add battlefield credibility from Army AMD and IBCS programs.
- ZeroV and NASA SBIRs show niche FPGA capability beyond defense software services.
