2026-03-20 Jeffrey → mail@ac Grok Valuation Analysis (Blind — No MVIS Name Given)
Prompted Grok to value a hypothetical company matching MVIS specs. Result: $2–5B market cap, $200–500M NED licensing deal, $6–$16 price target. Peter's technique: tell AI to exclude biased sources.

2015-06-09 Roger → Walt → Jeffrey Peter's Blog: "Why MicroVision? Because THIS."
The founding thesis: consumers demand bigger screens, PicoP projection is the answer. This idea would evolve through interactive displays, HoloLens, LiDAR, and defense tech over the next decade.

Thesis Evolution

5 phases over 11 years
Phase 1: Pico Projectors (2015–2017)
Bet: MVIS laser beam scanning gets embedded in smartphones and robots.
Partners tracked: Sony, Sharp, Foxconn, Celluon, Ford.
Key product: Sony MPCL1 pico projector.
Phase 2: Interactive Displays & HoloLens (2018–2019)
Walt's conviction: Microsoft and Amazon are MVIS's "mystery customers."
Known deals: $25.2M contract (suspected HoloLens 2), $10M display-only license (suspected FoxConn).
Walt built PPS models projecting 1B units/year at PE 14.
Phase 3: Amazon Breadcrumbs (2020)
Detective work: MVIS data sheet → Whole Foods salmon platter → Echo form factor.
Peter confirmed Amazon engineer contact. Trading volume exploded 56x YoY.
Apple/STM connection explored.
Phase 4: LiDAR Pivot & Spreadsheets (2021–2024)
MVIS pivoted to automotive LiDAR. Walt built interactive scenario-modeling spreadsheets.
Jeffrey hosted files on aesthetic.computer for the Reddit/blog community.
Walt tracked Jeffrey's brokerage account, urged rebuy at $8.62.
Phase 5: Defense + AI Valuation + AIM Theory (2025–2026)
Anduril (defense), ZF (auto Tier 1), NVIDIA (AI) partnerships.
Grok AI valuation: $2–5B market cap, $200–500M NED licensing.
Price target: $6–$16. Special dividend of $2 would "kill shorts."
New signal: AIM Intelligent Machines (autonomous earthmoving, DCVC-backed) now sharing office space with MVIS. Walt's call: AIM takeover.
