Fund open research that everyone gets to keep.
Solid State Pros runs Greenforest.io as an independent open research lab. No VC, no closed IP, no paywall: every result we produce, proof objects, articles, diagrams, videos, and open-source archives, is published for everyone. Your support buys uninterrupted research time, prototype fabrication runs, and the path from working demo to published artifact.
What your support is funding right now:
A sample of the research projects that your support will be funding includes:
Proof objects, articles, diagrams, videos, and Open Source archives (available to all)
Where the money goes
Research time is the scarce resource. Funding goes directly to protected deep-work time, PCB prototype runs and lab equipment, publication and documentation of results, and, at higher levels, research assistance and formal lab formation. We publish what we build. You'll see exactly what your support produced.
Thank you for your interest in supporting our ongoing research in technology innovations!

Individuals. One-time or recurring, any amount.
For people who read the research and want more of it to exist. Supporters get the research letter: periodic updates on what shipped, what's next, and early looks at new proof objects.
Companies and organizations funding the public research stream.
For organizations whose future depends on the areas we're probing: reconfigurable hardware, minimal ML, maker-scale fabrication. Sponsors get named recognition on published research, the research letter, and a standing line to the lab. Because the research stream is public and benefits your field, sponsorship is typically structured as a business expense rather than a donation.
Substantial backing for uninterrupted research.
For patrons who want to materially change what's possible: months of protected research time, larger prototype runs, research assistants, publications, and the formation of a permanent lab. Benefactors work directly with Brian to align support with the research roadmap, and their backing is credited in everything it makes possible.
Solid State Pros LLC is a private research lab, not a nonprofit; contributions are not tax-deductible charitable donations. Sponsors and benefactors: we're glad to work with you on the right structure — sponsored research agreements, fellowships, and equipment grants are all on the table.
