In 2015 BH created a CleanTech Fund.
We know FF has $$$ behind it to be able to pay $1M to QMC as well as accomplish other objectives.
On avg, most companies initially listed on AIM have a value between $25 - $500 M pounds.
We've seen no sign of actual product being sold, but we know QMC is tweaking multiple levels and applications, (and have a yr to meet objectives).
Most likely the other Partners aren't working for free either.
FF would need a source for backing for financial endeavors and to achieve goals.
That seems to indicate that the strategic partners are funding; perhaps through the CleanTech Fund as potential sh or mayhap via pre-orders for desired projects.
