They've raised about $45M in venture capital to date. I don't think they are profitable yet, but they at least have other people's money to throw around for now.
Nice, they will probably be able to buy like 128GB of ram in 2026.

Impressive for a hardware upstart (which are usually relatively capital intensive), no?

Speaking of other people's money... Framework's been sponsoring many a project, some of which are controversial on their forums: https://community.frame.work/t/framework-supporting-far-righ...
It looks a little bit like a tempest in a teapot to me, but I'm impressed with their community guidelines. That thread got an exception to allow for more discussion, and it even permits "Critiques of Framework as a company" and "Calls for boycotts or product criticism".

I can see why they would do this. There's a vocal minority of completely unhinged Linux people. I've been running different Linux distros since 2002 and it has irritated me since then.
