It is pretty easy to see what SemiFive, StarFive and LeapFive all have in common with SiFive but as SiFive CEO Naveed Sherwani explained on Linkedin they are just three of a set of nine companies around the world affiliated to SiFive and all started by ex-employees of SiFive with the help of SiFive.

Sherwani estimates that more than $1 billion has now been invested in RISC-V focused startups around the world with the largest share of that being in China.

Sherwani breaks the numbers down thus: Greater China including Taiwan, $450 million; USA, $350 million; Europe $50 million; India, $50 million; Korea, $45 million; Other countries $65 million.
