Where are they now? M2000

In 2007, M2000, a programmable logic startup founded in France in 1996, moved its headquarters to Silicon Valley and said it was on the verge of launching what it described as "breakthrough" technology that would provide higher logic density, functionality and speed at less cost than competing solutions.
But since then, not much has been heard from M2000. In fact, the company changed its name to Abound Logic last October. The company's website touts its Raptor family of FPGAs, which from the product description appears to be the breakthrough technology it talked about in late 2007.
Concern for FPGA startups is running high at Programmable Logic DesignLine, given the state of the economy and the fact that two of them, Mathstar and Ambric, folded last year. The big FPGA players (hopefully) are secure enough to weather the storm, but for the current crop of venture-funded startups, this recession could be make or break.
