Most of them are probably fabless gimmicks. Buy $200 pirated US cadence and synopsys softwares at black market and uses some open ips from opencores or got some ips from some companies.
Spend $30k to fab it out And claim their semiconductor companies. make some samples and try get funding from investors.
But only need few of them to be champions.
Also need more equipments related developers.
