> ... chip architect Jim Keller and DIY fabrication pioneer Sam Zeloof, has rebranded as Fab2 and moved its operations to Texas

> Fab2 now operates three sites: a 120,000 square foot facility in Austin serves as the new headquarters for research and production, a 30,000 square foot site in Lockhart houses the "fab fab" itself, and the original 25,000 square foot "garage fab" remains in San Francisco.

> Fab2 said it shifted its hiring focus to Texas after four years in California

Is California not what it used to be for startups? (I'm not saying Texas doesn't have an history of tech startups: it had the likes of Texas Instruments and many others in the early days)



I saw some innovative nuclear projects are also building in Lockhart https://oklo.com/isotopes/texas/default.aspx
