The Best Basketball Player Born in Each US State

Over 4000 NBA players were born in the United States, none are from Vermont. Let's look at the others.
​
*Edit/extra info at the bottom*
​
Alabama (87 players)
All-Time: Charles Barkley (Leeds) - 22.1/11.7/3.9 (1984-2000) - The Round Mound of Rebound, the 1992-93 MVP, NBA analyst Charles Barkley finished his illustrious career as an 11 time All Star and currently is 6th in all time offensive rebounds, 20th in total rebounds, and 31st in points.
Active: DeMarcus Cousins (Mobile) - 21.0/10.8/3.2 (2011- ) - DeMarcus Cousins was one of the best offensive big men in the league during his prime. Unfortunately, due to multiple serious injuries has struggled to get back on the court the past few years but is currently playing for the Houston Rockets.
-----
Alaska (1 player)
Only: Mario Chalmers (Anchorage) - 8.9/2.5/3.7 (2008-2018) - Famously a member of the Big 4 in Miami, Mario Chalmers won two championships starting for the Heat. He is still playing pro basketball in Greece.
-----
Arizona (17 players)
All-Time: Sean Elliot (Tucson) - 14.2/4.3/2.6 (1990-2001) - Two-time All-Star for the Spurs, Sean Elliot's number 32 jersey was retired in 2005. After his first all-star season he was traded by the Spurs for Dennis Rodman, averaged 12 points, and traded back the next season where he became an all-star again the season afterwards.
Active: Marvin Bagley III (Tempe) -14.6/7.6/1.0 (2018- ) - Most famous for being drafted before a superstar and getting injured. I swear he's pretty good, I think.
-----
Arkansas (54 players)
All-Time: Scottie Pippen (Hamburg) - 16.1/6.4/5.2 (1988-2004) - The ultimate Robin, one of the best perimeter defenders ever, and a 6-time champion Scottie Pippen remains as the most underrated player of all time, well maybe not anymore.
Active: Mike Conley (Fayetteville) -14.9/3.0/5.7 (2008- ) - One of the most common answers to "Who is the best player to never be an All-Star?" Mike Conley was the starting point guard for the Grit and Grind Grizzlies and currently seems to be having another comeback season on the Utah Jazz.
-----
California (416 players)
All-Time and Active: Kawhi Leonard (Los Angeles) - 18.8/6.4/2.8 (2012- ) - The most populous state in the nation guarantees a tough choice and disagreement, but I'm going with Kawhi Leonard. The two-time Finals MVP and two-time DPOY was one of the best perimeter defenders in NBA history during defensive prime and is one the best players in the league today.
-----
Colorado (19 players)
All-Time: Chauncey Billups (Denver) - 15.2/2.9/5.4 (1998-2014) - One of the most famous "late-bloomers" in the NBA, the two-way guard is most famous for his 2004 Finals MVP. Billups made five all-star teams in a row after becoming a champion and had his number 1 jersey retired by the Detroit Pistons.
Active: Derrick White (Parker) - 9.7/3.2/3.4 (2018- ) - With his current injury, there are technically no actively playing NBA players from Colorado. Anyways, White is one the Spurs collection of up-and-coming young guards.
-----
Connecticut (37 players)
All-Time: Calvin Murphy (Norwalk) - 17.9/2.1/4.4 (1971-1983) - The shortest Hall of Famer (5'9) and world-class baton twirler, Calvin Murphy was only a one time all-star but did lead the Rockets in all-time scoring before Olajuwon.
Active: Kris Dunn (New London) - 8.3/3.3/4.2 (2017- ) - A defensive specialist who was recently signed by the Atlanta Hawks, Dunn is currently out for ankle surgery but it seems only a matter of time (or rather minutes) before he makes an all-defense team.
-----
Delaware (9 players)
All-Time: Walt Hazzard/Mahdi Abdul-Rahman (Wilmington) - 12.6/3.0/4.9 (1965-1974) - Hazzard was a one time all-star in his career, notably averaging 24 points a game on the first team of the Seattle Supersonics.
Active: Donte DiVincenzo (Newark) - 10.1/3.9/2.5 (2018- ) - The best young player in Milwaukee, the Big Ragu looks to have, once again, sacrificed 2p% for 3p% this season after a good defensive season last year.
-----
District of Columbia (73 players)
All-Time and Active: Kevin Durant - 27.1/7.1/4.1 (2008- ) - Another tough decision but I went with my gut/recency bias and chose Kevin Durant. 2013-14 MVP, 2x Finals MVP, 4x Scoring Champion, Durant is simply one the best scorers to ever play in the NBA. He currently looks to be starting another amazing season after missing a year with a torn achilles.
----
Florida (118 players)
All-Time: David Robinson (Key West) - 21.1/10.6/2.5 (1989-2003) - Coming out the gates with All-NBA and All-Defense selections as a rookie, Robinson was instantly one of the best in the NBA. The Admiral is also part of an exclusive club of players who won both an MVP and DPOY. He also also he has a better moustache than Ewing and Olajuwon.
Active: Trevor Ariza (Miami) - 10.5/4.8/2.2 (2005- ) - The most traded player in NBA history Trevor Ariza will most likely be remembered for his time as the starting small forward on the 65-17 Houston Rockets team and as being one the best 3&D players in the league during his prime.
-----
Georgia (133 players)
All-Time and Active: Dwight Howard (Atlanta) - 16.6/12.2/1.4 (2004- ) - Superman Dwight Howard was undoubtedly the best center in the league during his prime. The 3x DPOY lead the Orlando Magic to their 2nd Finals Appearance in 2009 and then went to, like, a lot of different teams.
-----
Hawaii (2 players)
All-Time: Cedric Ceballos (Maui) - 14.3/5.3/1.2 (1990-2001) - Ceballos was a one time all-star for the Lakers in the mid-nineties where he had back to back 21 points per game seasons. He appeared with Shawn Marion on the Amazing Race in 2018 where they were eliminated 4th.
-----
Idaho (5 players)
All-Time: Luke Ridnour (Coeur d'Alene) - 9.3/2.3/4.5 (2003-2015) - Luke Ridnour was a solid point guard for 12 years. The year before he retired, he was traded four times in six days. (Magic > Grizzlies > Hornets > Thunder >Raptors > Waived)
-----
Illinois (288 players)
All-Time: Dwyane Wade (Chicago) - 22.0/4.7/5.4 (2003-2019) - Flash was a thirteen time All-Star and had eight All-NBA selections. Wade is most remembered for his time has a member of the big three in Miami, but his all-time finals performance in 2006 is what puts him in the greatest shooting guard conversation.
Active: Anthony Davis (Chicago) - 21.3/9.0/3.4 (2012- ) - Anthony Davis is coming off his first championship win and is the best center in the league despite playing power forward. Consistently one of the best players on both ends of the floor, Davis is a leading candidate for Defensive Player of Year, again.
-----
Indiana (155 players)
All-Time: Larry Bird (West Baden) - 24.3/10.0/6.3 (1979-1992) - Easily one of the greatest of all time. Larry Bird was consistently amazing throughout his unfortunately brief prime. One of three people to win three MVP awards in a row and the best player on the of the greatest teams of all-time in the 1986 Celtics. He the only person in the NBA to win MVP, Coach of the Year, and Executive of the Year.
Active: Gordon Hayward (Indianapolis) - 15.4/4.4/3.5 (2010- ) - After becoming an all-star for Utah, Gordon Hayward signed a massive deal with Boston in free agency where he snapped his leg 5 minutes into his first game in green. After a few more freak injuries, Hayward looks to be back to all-star form in Charlotte.
-----
Iowa (23 players)
All-Time and Active: Harrison Barnes (Ames) - 13.7/4.9/1.7 (2012- ) - The original tall guy on Golden State's death lineup, Barnes would win a championship with the Warriors in 2015 and started on the 73-9 team. He currently plays forward for the Sacramento Kings. Last season Barnes was more efficient in the post than Davis and Towns.
-----
Kansas (36 players)
All-Time: Alvan Adams (Lawrence) - 14.1/7.0/4.1 (1975-1988) - The Oklahoma Kid, Alvan Adams, became an all-star and lead the Suns to the finals in his rookie year. He spent his entire career in Phoenix and still works there as the Sun's VP for Facility Management.
Active: Willie Cauley-Stein (Spearville) - 9.5/6.3/1.6 (2015- ) - Currently the third most famous center for the Dallas Mavericks. In 2015 Willie added Stein to his last name after his mother and made his nickname, Trill, his new middle name.
-----
Kentucky (113 players)
All-Time: Wes Unseld (Louisville) - 10.8/14.0/3.9 (1968-1981) - Wes Unseld won both MVP and Rookie of the Year in the same year, one of two people to do so. The Big U stayed with the Bullets for his entire career and last worked as an assistant coach, head coach, vice president, and general manager for the team.
Active: Rajon Rondo (Louisville) - 10.2/4.7/8.2 (2006- ). Rondo was very suddenly pushed into the spotlight as the 24-58 team he first played for became the championship favorite over one offseason. Rondo would later go on to win two championships, have four All-Star and All-Defense appearances, and lead the league in assists per game three times.
-----
Louisiana (121 players)
All-Time: Bill Russell (Monroe) - 15.1/22.5/4.3 (1956-1969) - He won ELEVEN championships what do you want.
Active: Paul Millsap (Monroe) - 13.9/7.3/2.2 (2006- ) - Paul Millsap became a four-time all-star after signing with the Atlanta Hawks and was an important member for the 60-win team in 2015. Underrated in the all-time second round picks discussion.
-----
Maine (2 players)
All-Time and Active: Duncan Robinson (York) - 14.8/3.9/1.7 (2018- ) - One of the Miami Heat's breakout undrafted players last year. Duncan Robinson looks to be on track to becoming one of the best three-point specialists in the NBA, shooting 44% last season. He also shot 65% on 2 pointers.
-----
Maryland (74 players)
All-Time: Sam Cassell (Baltimore) - 15.7/3.2/6.0 (1993-2008) - Sam Cassell was another late bloomer winning his first All-Star appearance and All-NBA selection in 2004 at age 34. The three-time champion came into the league with the 1994 Houston Rockets and retired with the 2008 Boston Celtics.
Active: Victor Oladipo (Silver Spring) - 17.4/4.6/3.9 (2013- ) - Oladipo broke out in the 2017-18 season winning Most Improved Player along with his first All-Star, All-Defense, and All-NBA selections. Since that season he has been dealing with injuries but has very recently been traded to the Houston Rockets.
-----
Massachusetts (45 players)
All-Time: Bill Laimbeer (Boston) - 12.9/9.7/2.0 (1980-1993) - In the eighties Laimbeer was one of the most infamous players in the league as he and the Bad Boy Pistons won two championships. An early stretch 5, in 1989-1990 he shot 36% from 3 on a team high two attempts a game. The three-time all-star has also won three WNBA championships and two WNBA Coach of the Year Awards.
Active: Michael Carter-Williams (Hamilton) - 10.3/4.4/4.3 (2013- ) - His NBA debut was 22 points, 7 rebounds, 12 assists, and 9 steals. Unfortunately, MCW has never quite reached that level of hype or performance again.
-----
Michigan (158 players)
All-Time: Magic Johnson (Lansing) - 19.5/7.2/11.2 (1979-1991 1996) - The greatest point guard of all time despite a tragically shortened career. Awards: 12x All-Star, 10x All-NBA, 3x MVP, 5x Champion, 3x FMVP. Lead the league in assists four times and steals twice. P4P best smile.
Active: Draymond Green (Saginaw) - 8.9/6.9/5.0 (2012- ) - One of the most versatile defenders ever, one of the best passing big men ever, one of the shortest big men ever. Green was one of the key pieces of the Warriors dynasty that won three championships in five consecutive finals appearances. In that time, he won DPOY and made 3 All-Star teams, 2 All-NBA teams, and 5 All-Defensive teams.
-----
Minnesota (60 players)
All-Time: Kevin McHale (Hibbing) - 17.9/7.3/1.7 (1980-93) - McHale started his career as one the best sixth men of all time before taking his spot in the starting lineup and developed into one of the best power forwards of all-time. He won three championships and had seven all-star selections as a career Celtic.
Active: Tyus Jones (Burnsville) - 5.7/1.6/3.6 (2015- ) - A solid two-way point guard for the Memphis Grizzlies, Tyus Jones holds the record for the highest assist to turnover ratio in a season from his 2018-19 season with 6.9:1.
-----
Mississippi (92 players)
All-Time: Spencer Haywood (Silver City) - 20.3/10.3/1.8 (1969-1970 (ABA) 1971-1980 1981-1983) - Haywood won ABA MVP and ROY in 1970 averaging 30 points and 19.5 rebounds, leading the league in both categories. In the NBA he was a five All-Star and made the All-NBA team four times.
Active: Rodney Hood (Meridian) - 12.1/2.8/1.9 (2014- ) - Rodney Hood has been a solid offensive 2/3 since coming into the league. He is coming back from an achilles tear suffered last season.
-----
Missouri (69 players)
All-Time and Active: Jayson Tatum (St Louis) - 17.7/6.0/2.3 (2017- ) - Too early? Jayson Tatum looks to be a superstar two-way forward for the Boston Celtics, making an All-NBA team in his third season as well as leading the team to the ECF. Tatum finished second in all-time rookie playoff points with 351, only a single point behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
-----
Montana (11 players)
All-Time: Mike Lewis (Missoula) - 12.1/11.9/3.0 (1968-1974) - Drafted by the Celtics but only ever played in the ABA, his career was cut short by an achilles injury. His basketball reference page says he was a two-time all-star but only shows one star.
-----
Nebraska (14 players)
All-Time: Bob Boozer (Omaha) - 14.8/8.1/1.4 (1960-1971) - One time all-star for the Bulls 1967-68 and went out with a championship with the Bucks. Not related to Carlos.
-----
Nevada (12 Players)
All-Time: Ricky Davis (Las Vegas) - 13.5/3.5/3.3 (1999-2010) - Nicknamed Wrong Rim Ricky, he most notably averaged 20 points a game on the Cavs team that drafted Lebron.
Active: Troy Brown Jr (Las Vegas) - 7.6/4.3/2.1 (2018- ) - Young small forward for the Wizards, showed improvement in his sophomore season but he seen reduced minutes in his third season so far.
-----
New Hampshire (1 player)
Only: Matt Bonner (Concord) - 5.8/3.0/0.7 (2004- 2016) - Longtime backup big man for the Spurs where he won two championships. Assumed to still be searching for the Hoagie Grail.
-----
New Jersey (143 players)
All-Time: Shaquille O'Neal (Newark) - 23.7/10.9/2.5 (1992-2011) - THE MOST DOMINANT BIG MAN IN NBA HISTORY. Four rings, fifteen time All-Star, fourteen time All-NBA, 2000 MVP. Currently hanging out with Tony the Tiger.
Active: Karl-Anthony Towns (Edison) - 22.7/11.8/2.8 (2015- ) - Had to choose between him and Bam, so not sure about this one. Either way, KAT is going to be best shooting big man of all time. Currently dealing with health issues, hopefully he comes back strong.
-----
New Mexico (7 players)
All-Time: Bill Bridges (Hobbs) - 11.9/11.9/2.8 (1963-1975) - Was a three time All-Star, two time All-Defense, and won a championship in 1975 with the Warriors. Not a lot of information about the guy unfortunately.
-----
New York (411 players)
All-Time: Michael Jordan (Brooklyn) - 30.1/6.2/5.3 (1984-1993 1995-1998 2001-2003) - Its between him and Abdul-Jabbar. The most common GOAT answer. Jordan led the league in scoring ten times, five MVPs, six championships. Most important person in basketball history other than maybe Naismith and Stern.
Active: Carmelo Anthony (Brooklyn) - 23.4/6.5/2.9 (2003- ) - Ten time All-Star, six time All-NBA, lead the league in scoring in 2012-13, one of the faces of 21st century basketball. Only player to win every rookie of the month award and not win rookie of the year. Currently coming off the bench for Portland.
-----
North Carolina (139 players)
All-Time and Active: Chris Paul (Winston-Salem) - 18.4/4.5/9.5 (2005- ) - One of the greatest point guards ever. Kinda bored of listing awards, he has simply been great and an absolute game-changer since day one. Will finish top 5 in assists and steals.
-----
North Dakota (6 players)
All-Time and Active: Doug McDermott (Grand Forks) - 8.4/2.2/0.9 (2014- ) - Dougie McBuckets has been an automatic three-point shooter since his sophomore season and judging by Korver's and Kerr's careers, he has quite a few years to go.
-----
Ohio (195 players)
All-Time and Active: Lebron James (Akron) - 27.0/7.4/7.4 (2003- ) - The other GOAT guy. Still arguably the best player in the NBA at 36. You've heard it all. Ten finals appearances, four rings, 16 time All-Star and All-NBA (most first team selections too), four-time MVP. Also, shoutout to Steph Curry, best shooter ever.
-----
Oklahoma (48 players)
All-Time and Active: Blake Griffin (Oklahoma City) - 21.5/8.8/4.4 (2010- ) - One of the best highlight reels in the sport. Started out as a super explosive rookie all-star and later transitioned into becoming one of the most well-rounded players in the league. Had injury problems throughout his career and it seems they finally took him down a peg these past couple of seasons.
-----
Oregon (32 players)
All-Time: A.C. Green (Portland) - 9.6/7.4/1.1 (1985-2001) - The power forward for late period Showtime. Won three championships as a Laker, one time All-Star and All-Defense. Played 1192 consecutive games and only missed 3 total games in his career.
Active: Domantas Sabonis (Portland) - 12.5/8.2/2.7 (2016- ) - Carrying on the Sabonis legacy by becoming one the best big men in league, combining passing and post play while also adding some three-point attempts recently. Already an all-star in fourth season and has a bright future.
-----
Pennsylvania (239 players)
All-Time: Wilt Chamberlain (Philadelphia) - 30.1/22.9/4.4 (1959-1973) - Wilt has lots of awards and most of the NBA records. Kobe is also one the greatest of all time with five championships and is arguably the best scorer of the 21st century but isn't eligible for the list.
Active: Kyle Lowry (Philadelphia) - 14.8/4.3/6.2 (2006- ) - One of the best two-way point guards of this decade. Six time all-star and a championship along with one of the cutest bromances. Literally drew 2 charges in the last minute of the all-star game how do you not love this guy.
-----
Rhode Island (10 players)
All-Time: Marvin Barnes (Providence) - 16.0/9.1/2.1 (1974-1976 (ABA) 1976-1980) - ABA rookie of year and two time all-star. There is a story that when a flight was scheduled to arrive before it departure time (going from eastern time to central time), he refused to board due to this and rented a car instead stating "I ain't getting in no damn time machine."
-----
South Carolina (46 players)
All-Time: Kevin Garnett (Greenville) - 17.8/10.0/3.7 (1995-2016) - Arguably the best American-born power forward. Another player to win both DPOY and MVP in his career, Garnett also was a 15x All-Star, 9x All-NBA, and 12x All-Defense. The best player in Timberwolves history and the first in Minnesota's lineage of star big men named K.
Active: Khris Middleton (Charleston) - 16.5/4.7/5.4 (2012- ) - Middleton is a star 2/3 for the Milwaukee Bucks. Coming off his second all-star appearance, the two-way wing is still seeking to become the ninth member of the 50/40/90 club in the NBA.
-----
South Dakota (5 players)
All-Time: Mike Miller (Mitchell) - 10.6/4.2/2.6 (2000-2017) - Long-time 3pt specialist, Mike Miller, is notable for having won Rookie of The Year in 2000; considered one of the weakest draft classes of the modern era. Miller also won Sixth Man of the Year in 2005-06 and two championships with the Heatles. He once owned a crab-eating macaque.
-----
Tennessee (95 players)
All-Time: Oscar Robertson (Charlotte) - 25.7/7.5/9.5 (1960-1974) - Oscar Robertson is the all-time leader in triple-doubles as well as the first person to average a triple double for a season. An all-time great guard, Robertson struggled to carry the Cincinnati Royals past the first round but was later able to win a championship with the Bucks in 1971.
Active: Lou Williams (Memphis) - 14.4/2.3/3.4 (2005- ) - The record-tying three-time Sixth Man of the Year is one of the best scorers off the bench in NBA history. A late bloomer, Williams had arguably his best seasons in his early thirties but is currently facing reduced minutes on the LA Clippers this season.
-----
Texas (193 players)
All-Time: Chris Bosh (Dallas) - 19.2/8.5/2.0 (2003-2016) - The tale of a career we saw the almost the entire prime of, but not quite enough of to leave no questions about the extent of his legacy. Chris Bosh was a two-time champion and eleven time All-Star but only ever made one All-NBA team.
Active: LaMarcus Aldridge (Dallas) - 19.5/8.3/2.0 (2006- ) - The hall of very good guy. One of the best big men in the league for almost a decade straight for Portland and San Antonio. Aldridge was the star acquisition that catapulted the 2015-16 Spurs to 67 wins and the unfortunate distinction of one the best teams to never win a championship.
-----
Utah (26 players)
All-Time: Tom Chambers (Ogden) - 18.1/6.1/2.1 (1981-1995 1997) - Tom Chambers was a four time All-Star and had two All-NBA selections. Famously the first ever unrestricted free agent, he joined the Phoenix Suns, the first team to send him an offer.
Active: John Collins (Layton) - 16.2/8.8/1.6 (2017- ) - John Collins is a crazy efficient 23 year old power forward coming off two 20/10 seasons. Despite his potential, he seems having a down year on a good then not so good Atlanta Hawks team.
-----
Vermont (0 players)
-----
Virginia (82 players)
All-Time: Moses Malone (Petersburg) - 20.3/12.3/1.3 (1974-1976 (ABA) 1976-1994) - The best undrafted player in NBA history and will probably remain so for a very long time. Over his career he was a three-time MVP, one-time champion, and had thirteen all-star appearances. In his rookie year in the NBA he played six minutes in Buffalo before being traded for two first round picks, preventing a trio of McAdoo, Malone, and Dantley.
Active: Jeremy Lamb (Henrico) - 10.5/3.7/1.6 (2012- ) - Lamb had a bit of a breakout year in Charlotte during the 2018-19 season when he started most of the games he played for the first time in his career. Currently a member of the Indiana Pacers, Lamb is recovering from a major knee injury sustained last year.
-----
Washington (64 players)
All-Time: John Stockton (Spokane)- 13.5/2.7/10.5 (1984-2003) - John Stockton is the all-time leader in assists and steal and look to remain so for a very long time as well. His almost insurmountable lead on the assist record comes from him leading the league in total assists nine times in a row, as well as only missing 14 games out of a possible 1518.
Active: Zach LaVine (Renton) - 18.0/3.7/3.7 (2014- ) - LaVine has been on the cusp of an all-star appearance these past couple years and looks to be in the hunt again this year as he continues to be a versatile offensive wing. Someone sign Isaiah Thomas.
-----
West Virginia (28 players)
All-Time: Jerry West (Chelyan) - 27.0/5.8/6.7 (1960-1974) - The Logo himself, Jerry West was an All-Star every season of his 14-year career along with 12 All-NBA selections. While West was one of the faces of the 1960s, he didn't win a championship until 1972, thanks bill. West went on to have a successful career as an executive, currently working for the LA Clippers.
-----
Wisconsin (65 Players)
All-Time: Latrell Sprewell (Milwaukee) - 18.3/4.1/4.0 (1992-2005) - Sprewell was a four time All-Star and made the first team All-NBA and second team All-Defense in his second season. In 1997 was suspended for the 82 games, later shortened to 68 games, good for second longest in NBA history.
Active: Tyler Herro (Milwaukee) - 14.1/4.5/2.4 (2019- ) - A young prospect for the Miami Heat and although he had a good rookie year (a good start to his second season), he has so far been defined by his 37 point performance in the ECF last season.
-----
Wyoming (7 players)
All-Time and Active: James Johnson (Cheyenne) - 8.0/3.6/2.1 (2009- ) - Johnson is a versatile journeyman big man who currently plays for the Dallas Mavericks after being traded three times in 2020. Has a 20-0 record in kickboxing.
-----
So that's my list, if you think I should add anything, clean up a paragraph, or spot some mistakes let me know.
Sourced from basketball reference, nba.com, and wikipedia
*****
EDIT: Should've specified a few things first:
  1. "Active" is meant to be the active player with the best overall career rather than the best this season
  2. I went with where someone was born based off their wikipedia and basketball reference page. I ignored where people spent most of their childhood/lives for the sake of simplicity on my part.
  3. FAQ: Bill Russell was born in Louisiana, Jordan was born in NY, Kevin Love was born in California, Kyrie Irving was born in Australia, and Carlos Boozer was born in Germany. Kevin Durant was born in a DC hospital and thus on the pages I checked he is listed as from DC, oh also DC isn't in Maryland or Virginia, its different.
  4. I forgot about Jimmy Butler in Texas (;_;)

Comprehensive Guide about BB and how it shall take off in coming years

Alright folks, here's the comprehensive guide about the BB products, revenue details, customers, and what's in the store in the future. It's quite a lengthy one, please bare with me as you read and this is the first time I looked up regarding a company at this depth.
Some background on the John Chen, who took up a massive challenge when he was the CEO for Sybase where the stock price was around 4-5$. But when he sold off to SAP it was around 65$, although it took 10 years to accomplish. He understands the business quite well and knows where to focus to generate more revenue and certainly be the best in what they do and provide the best to their customers.

Why should companies embrace BB products?

Achievements in 2019 (According to 10-k report):
Certifications
Let's highlight the security certifications BB got in 2020.
Before you read about the certifications which BB got, let this statement sink in deeply
No other software vendor in the cybersecurity space has been awarded more security certification by the US Government than BlackBerry.
In Q3 2020, BlackBerry UEM achieved the National Security Agency, NSA, commercial solution for classified program approval. This adds to the portfolio of US government certifications we have received for BlackBerry UEM including the NIAP-certification, the Department of Defense Information Network Approved Product List, which I think we talked about last quarter, DoDIN APL, FedRAMP and FIPS 140-2.
Context from Q3 2020 earnings call:

How it’s different from rest of the competitors:
Do check this post about description of the below products: https://www.reddit.com/wallstreetbets/comments/l4ehan/blackberry_dd/

How can the BB retain leading position in different sectors?

The Company’s goal is to remain a leader in regulated industries and other core verticals by continuing to extend the functionality of its secure BlackBerry Spark® software platform (UEM + UES).

How does the EV Sector Exponential Growth help BB?

Well, the 2020 to 2022 is a period for gaining significant momentum in the Smart EV sector and which shall rapidly accelerate from 2023 to 2025. As we are noticing multiple companies in EV sector trying to launch their products.
Most of the companies would love to be part of the growing EV sector as it just the beginning excluding TESLA. They will eventually develop products/platforms for OEM's and Tier1 and provide it as a service.
As EV sector evolves more, we should see more partnerships across other companies which aren't part of BB yet might be inclined to use at least one product. As the BB product offerings are diverse and the customer success stories about how they have played a role while manufacturing their own EV products with minimal efforts can boost the marketing efforts.
Chen stated they are going after the other 6 OEM's which aren't using the Blackberry yet. Currently, BlackBerry QNX has design wins with 19 of top 25 Electric Vehicle OEMs, who together have 61% of EV market.

How is BB coping up during the COVID?

The company expects BlackBerry QNX revenue to be negatively impacted by a slowdown in automotive market related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the impact of which could be partially offset by increased customer demand for the Company’s endpoint security and productivity solutions that support business continuity and remote working environments, including the BlackBerry Spark platform, SecuSUITE and BlackBerry AtHoc.

What's upcoming and where is BB focusing strategically?

The Company is developing a concept system to integrate BlackBerry Spark capabilities, including AI and machine learning technologies, with BlackBerry QNX automotive solutions. Have to watch out for more information during the earnings calls.

How was the Customers growth among BB products?

QNX:
QNX was acquired by BB in 2010, right from that moment, BB started its journey in Automotive industry. Initially, it has launched Infotainments and Telematic under QNX product category and it was deployed on leading car manufacturers. It started branching out and was able to offer more products under QNX. Now it is has aligned itself very well for the next gen EV cars.
Adoption of QNX products from 2016 to 2020:
As we see, the growth has been substantial, and we can expect it grow more as we see more cars from new manufacturers and from existing ones and also automotive driving platforms especially in EV sector. There are currently 1.4 billion cars approximately. In 2018, approximately 4.2 million heavy commercial vehicles and just over 20 million light commercial vehicles were produced throughout the world.
It’s estimated to have at least 470 million cars by 2025.
Link: https://www.itsdigest.com/470-million-connected-vehicles-road-2025.
The market share is about 10% in total across automotive
Customers:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NQQ6lkby32kHu2tWqbfYqlDEYy90KI6QfsyYd8moYjo/edit?usp=sharing
IVY:
KARMA Automotive is the first customer to use this product.

Chen stated that there won't be much of the revenue growth from IVY until 2023.
Under the terms of our agreement, BlackBerry will own all the commercial relationships with customers and will share revenues with AWS.
The target is to be in the 2023 year’s auto model, with possibly potentially some professional services prior to it. While it is too early for us to provide a revenue outlook, we are confident that BlackBerry IVY addresses a very large market opportunity that will greatly increase our ASP.
Cylance:
It is part of the Blackberry Spark product under UES category
Typically, Cylance subscription period is 1 to 3 yrs. based on the deal’s BB made.
Leader in EPP (Endpoint Protection Platform) and they are able to catch with competitors in EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response)
Customers:
Added 279 new customers and new active subscription customer growth was about 15%. Notable new customers include General Motors, Becton Dickinson, Phillips Healthcare, SKF, which is one of Sweden’s largest manufacturers, the New Zealand Defense Force and the United States Census Bureau, just to name a few.
Verizon launched their business internet secure offering, which includes our BlackBerry smart AV antivirus product and Cisco’s Umbrella security service.
Blackberry Spark:
Spark is collection of BlackBerry Cylance, BlackBerry® UEM, BlackBerry® Dynamics™ and BlackBerry® Workspaces products. BB to pushing its efforts for customers to choose this product in 2021.
Spark, as a reminder, is a combination of UEM and UES, the Unified Endpoint Security offerings. In the 2020 Q2, Q3, BB made good progress in both the government, and financial services verticals with customer wins
In addition, they had success in verticals including healthcare and manufacturing sector.
Up on the acquisition of Cylance company, BB was able to integrate it with its existing products which will be part of UES suite. Customers are inclined to upgrade from UEM (Unified Endpoint Management) to UES (Unified Endpoint Security)
Customers are eager to get with UES:
UEM Suite
UEM Suite was added to the Department of Defense Information Network Approved Products List (DoDIN APL). BlackBerry is the only UEM vendor that has achieved this level of approval to date. This achievement is based on the completion of cybersecurity and interoperability certifications. This approval will provide us better access and a more streamlined approval process. This should naturally lead to greater revenue opportunities going forward. The latest release of UEM has also recently achieved NIAP accreditation
AtHoc:
Zoom was one of the customers who is using AtHoc product, after we know what happened to the stock when street found out that it wasn't secure. In this way, Zoom can highly secure way to hold virtual meetings in this new work-from-anywhere environment.
Even, Microsoft Teams and ServiceNow’s Now platforms are on AtHoc. As we know, Teams market leader has 116 million active users and Service Now 51%, IT Service management.
Customers:
BlackBerry Radar:
In 2020, Canadian Pacific Railway agreed to deploy product on 2,000 of its domestic intermodal chassis.
In 2019, one of the top three U.S. retailers specializing in home improvement. The customer placed a 2,500 unit’s order.
In 2019 fiscal year, they have added 50 new customers and recurring revenue from the existing customers.
A big part of our competitive advantage is the BlackBerry legacy experience in designing a reliable, secure solution,” Plaat said. “That’s an important issue in this industry with high capital assets that you keep for years. The ROI is very good for a reliable solution like ours.”
Customers:

BB Revenue:

Check the Spreadsheet for the Revenue Sources.
2021 Fiscal year
Note: Software and Services include these products IoT, QNX, BlackBerry Spark, AtHoc, Radar.
The revenue got impacted due to 2020 chaos especially on the QNX product side. According to the earning calls. There are still on track to maintain the gross margin over 70% and dollar net retention rate is above 90%.
As you see, the gross margin has been consistent past few years and revenue is steadily increasing every year.
Revenue, Gross Margin, Net Income, EPS for years 2019, 2018, 2017 and 2016
Growth in Revenue from Products from 2019-2013
Notes:
In 2019, due to restructuring, BB was unable to close deals, we should see +ve in 2020.
IoT: Comprised of QNX products, UEM, & Radar
Other: Handheld Devices and Service Access Fee (SAF)
Since BB was moving away from manufacturing of devices gradually, in 2020 most of it done by third party companies. That’s why we have negative growth under Other.

Pricing for BB products

QNX Pricing:
As there are many modules under QNX, like hypervisor, ADAS, clusters, cockpit, IVI. The cost ranges anywhere from the low-single digit dollars to literally high-single digit or low-double digit dollars per module.
Trefis estimates BlackBerry generates about $4 in QNX revenue per vehicle. Automakers are only expected to ship about 62 million new vehicles this year, according to Statista Research. Assuming QNX is installed on at least half of those vehicles, BlackBerry would generate about $120 million in annual sales -- or nearly a fifth of its trailing 12-month software and services revenue -- from QNX this year.
Link: https://www.fool.com/investing/2020/12/07/investors-overreacting-blackberry-deal-with-amazon/
Unfortunately, we don't know the exact price the QNX OS costs or per say other modules under QNX. If more modules of QNX are used, then it's adds up and the Average Rate for Per Unit might be 4x or 5x.
This gives us an idea about how to get more revenue from QNX itself when the manufacturer would use other modules under QNX apart from OS.
We have already seen list of the OEM's from previous posts and in the above spreadsheet you saw list of the QNX products certain OEM's are using
IoT subscription period is typically 4 yrs.
Radar Pricing:
Estimation in 2017:
BlackBerry charges $10 to $20 per month for every trailer connected to Radar.
The Go-to-Market objective is to have approximately a 50-50 split in Radar sales between BlackBerry’s channel partners and its direct sales force. BlackBerry Radar partners typically sell only this particular solution.
Recently, BB was able to expand channel ecosystem to more than 12 channel partners, this new partnership might help BB capture more of the logistics and transportation area.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-blackberry-recovery/born-again-blackberry-canadian-icon-hopes-to-ride-trucks-to-growth-idUSKBN1901P1
Cylance Pricing:
Cylance might charge 55$ per endpoint per year.
Announced that Forrester found that BlackBerry Cylance’s AI-driven endpoint security products delivered a 99 percent return on investment. We will see more revenue in 2021 as we shared earlier that customers who bought UEM are excited about UES too.
At present, the market share is below 1%.
Ref: https://www.datanyze.com/market-share/ep--359
The outlook of the Cylance in 2021 and further
Projected Product Sector Revenue Growth by 2025:
QNX:
According to survey, the Global In-Vehicle Infotainment Market size is expected to reach $42.7 billion by 2025 (This is where we shall see more competition from different OEM manufacturers as they build their own products)
Global Market Insights, Inc. has recently added a new report on automotive operating system market which estimates the global market valuation for automotive OS will cross US$ 4.5 billion by 2026
And the QNX OS (Just the OS) segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of nearly 15% from 2020 to 2026
https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2020/11/24/2132346/0/en/Automotive-OS-Market-to-hit-USD-4-5-Bn-by-2026-Global-Market-Insights-Inc.html
Endpoint Protection (Cylance):
The global endpoint security market is expected to grow from 13.58 billion $ in 2020 to 19.24 billion $ in 2025 at a CAGR of 7.6% during the forecast period.
https://www.marketdataforecast.com/market-reports/endpoint-security-market.
Assuming the market share in endpoint increases to ~3%. It can be around 577 million
Asset Management (Radar):
Global asset tracking market will reach $36.3B by 2025, growing at 15% CAGR
https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2020/03/04/1995009/0/en/Global-Asset-Tracking-Market-2020-2025-Insights-Into-Technologies-Solutions-and-the-Ecosystem-Including-Major-Players.html
We have to know what the priority level for BB for this product and how much market share they are targeting in the upcoming years. It’s quite early to say about it and the contribution to the revenue is insignificant compared to other products.
Challenges:
QNX:
Toyota, VW, Mercedes Benz have started taking route of AGL (Automotive Grade Linux) which is an open source (free to use) which implies the QNX market share in OS is waning. These are big manufacturers and how blackberry shall adapt is wait and see game.
There is always a case where companies might decide not to use more of the QNX modules just the OS, this will impact the Average Selling Price (ASP) per car as well as the revenue since those modules add up 4x-5x ASP.
IVY:
Revenue from Blackberry IVY shall be more reflective from 2023, stated by Chen. So, there is uncertainty in this area and no revenue estimate. We have to see how this partnership plays out how companies are willing to adopt cloud platform for insights and management of the automotive software’s.
Cylance:
Currently, the market is highly competitive, and BB has to make it way to top 10 and capture more market share. In 2021, it shall unfold more about it as we are seeing rapid growth in IoT sector across various sectors.
The BB is in the right position to capture more of the automotive market and we have to see how it shall play out in coming years when EV sector is full blown and more cars are delivered, and security threats increase. Also, it offers the endpoint protection, which certainly companies can benefit but not necessarily the SMB which are driven through e-commerce platforms.
Radar:
It’s barely scratching the surface in this sector and as there are bigger sharks who have been in the market for long time.
In the second quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company previously stated that it expected to generate $100 million in cumulative revenue from its BlackBerry Radar asset tracking solution over the next three years. The Company no longer expects to generate this revenue within this time frame. (This is a set back and there are other competitors who have been in the Logistics and Transportation Industry for quite some time).
In general, BB has to pitch itself more aggressively in other sectors especially in Medical, Industrial, Oil and Energy. Considering the certifications they have and the clients they serve.
Thanks to OP's and go give a read at these DD's too:

https://new.reddit.com/wallstreetbets/comments/l37ktg/bb_weekend_due_diligence_confirmation_bias/
Target Price in 2021: 25-30 (by not considering crazy valuations into account). I personally believe if the IVY platform and Spark product revenue increases then we can certainly see the stock price 4x-5x in coming years.
Positions: 400 shares @ 12 and 2 Jan 20 2023 SP 15. I plan to add more as I see the potential and growth in the newly introduced products.
Disclaimer: This is not a financial advice, I'm merely a random person who loves BB and would like to see this company fly to new heigths. Cheers to everyone!!
Edit1: thanks u/melbogia, added the date which I missed earlier for the calls.

Estimation in 2017:
BlackBerry charges $10 to $20 per month for every trailer connected to Radar.
The Go-to-Market objective is to have approximately a 50-50 split in Radar sales between BlackBerry’s channel partners and its direct sales force. BlackBerry Radar partners typically sell only this particular solution.
Recently, BB was able to expand channel ecosystem to more than 12 channel partners, this new partnership might help BB capture more of the logistics and transportation area.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-blackberry-recovery/born-again-blackberry-canadian-icon-hopes-to-ride-trucks-to-growth-idUSKBN1901P1
Cylance Pricing:
Cylance might charge 55$ per endpoint per year.
Announced that Forrester found that BlackBerry Cylance’s AI-driven endpoint security products delivered a 99 percent return on investment. We will see more revenue in 2021 as we shared earlier that customers who bought UEM are excited about UES too.
At present, the market share is below 1%.

The outlook of the Cylance in 2021 and further
Projected Product Sector Revenue Growth by 2025:
QNX:
According to survey, the Global In-Vehicle Infotainment Market size is expected to reach $42.7 billion by 2025 (This is where we shall see more competition from different OEM manufacturers as they build their own products)
Global Market Insights, Inc. has recently added a new report on automotive operating system market which estimates the global market valuation for automotive OS will cross US$ 4.5 billion by 2026
And the QNX OS (Just the OS) segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of nearly 15% from 2020 to 2026
https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2020/11/24/2132346/0/en/Automotive-OS-Market-to-hit-USD-4-5-Bn-by-2026-Global-Market-Insights-Inc.html
Endpoint Protection (Cylance):
The global endpoint security market is expected to grow from 13.58 billion $ in 2020 to 19.24 billion $ in 2025 at a CAGR of 7.6% during the forecast period.
https://www.marketdataforecast.com/market-reports/endpoint-security-market.
Assuming the market share in endpoint increases to ~3%. It can be around 577 million
Asset Management (Radar):
Global asset tracking market will reach $36.3B by 2025, growing at 15% CAGR
https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2020/03/04/1995009/0/en/Global-Asset-Tracking-Market-2020-2025-Insights-Into-Technologies-Solutions-and-the-Ecosystem-Including-Major-Players.html
We have to know what the priority level for BB for this product and how much market share they are targeting in the upcoming years. It’s quite early to say about it and the contribution to the revenue is insignificant compared to other products.
Challenges:
QNX:
Toyota, VW, Mercedes Benz have started taking route of AGL (Automotive Grade Linux) which is an open source (free to use) which implies the QNX market share in OS is waning. These are big manufacturers and how blackberry shall adapt is wait and see game.
There is always a case where companies might decide not to use more of the QNX modules just the OS, this will impact the Average Selling Price (ASP) per car as well as the revenue since those modules add up 4x-5x ASP.
IVY:
Revenue from Blackberry IVY shall be more reflective from 2023, stated by Chen. So, there is uncertainty in this area and no revenue estimate. We have to see how this partnership plays out how companies are willing to adopt cloud platform for insights and management of the automotive software’s.
Cylance:
Currently, the market is highly competitive, and BB has to make it way to top 10 and capture more market share. In 2021, it shall unfold more about it as we are seeing rapid growth in IoT sector across various sectors.
The BB is in the right position to capture more of the automotive market and we have to see how it shall play out in coming years when EV sector is full blown and more cars are delivered, and security threats increase. Also, it offers the endpoint protection, which certainly companies can benefit but not necessarily the SMB which are driven through e-commerce platforms.
Radar:
It’s barely scratching the surface in this sector and as there are bigger sharks who have been in the market for long time.
In the second quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company previously stated that it expected to generate $100 million in cumulative revenue from its BlackBerry Radar asset tracking solution over the next three years. The Company no longer expects to generate this revenue within this time frame. (This is a set back and there are other competitors who have been in the Logistics and Transportation Industry for quite some time).
In general, BB has to pitch itself more aggressively in other sectors especially in Medical, Industrial, Oil and Energy. Considering the certifications they have and the clients they serve.
Thanks to OP's and go give a read at these DD's too:

https://new.reddit.com/wallstreetbets/comments/l37ktg/bb_weekend_due_diligence_confirmation_bias/
Target Price in 2021: 25-30 (by not considering crazy valuations into account). I personally believe if the IVY platform and Spark product revenue increases then we can certainly see the stock price 4x-5x in coming years.
Positions: 400 shares @ 12 and 2 Jan 20 2023 SP 15. I plan to add more as I see the potential and growth in the newly introduced products.
Disclaimer: This is not a financial advice, I'm merely a random person who loves BB and would like to see this company fly to new heigths. Cheers to everyone!!
Edit1: thanks u/melbogia, added the date which I missed earlier for the calls.

VGAC (Richard Branson SPAC) rumored to merge with 23andMe. ARKG buy likely. My DD and bull case.

TL/DR: Richard Branson's SPAC is rumored to be merging with 23andMe. 23andMe has an invaluable set of over 10 million human DNA sequences that are used to create ground-breaking drugs. Cathie Wood is VERY bullish on genomics, ARKG buying is highly likely. Beginning to add commons in the $13s; will add more once rumor is confirmed.
You probably know about 23andMe, the popular Christmas gift where you spit in a tube and they tell you ancestors are from. A recent Bloomberg rumor has said that VG Acquisition Corp (VGAC) is in talks to take them public. If confirmed, I believe that this deal has a proven management team and both short term and long term catalysts, including a likely stake from Cathie Wood and ARK in their ARKG fund.
VGAC Background
Size in trust - $480M
Commons - $13.46
Warrants* - $3.28
*Warrants are 1 for 1 and can be redeemed on a cashless basis
VG Acquisition Corp ($VGAC) is a SPAC led by the Virgin Group and its famous billionaire founder, Sir Richard Branson. They IPO'ed on October 2nd with $480M in trust.
You may remember that Branson was involved in the deal that arguably helped kick off the SPAC movement when he took Virgin Galactic public at the end of 2019 with Chamath's first SPAC, IPOA. SPCE became the first publicly traded space company and has fared well since it's public debut, currently trading at $48.50 with a 52 week high of nearly $60.
Virgin already has a foothold in the healthcare space through Virgin Care, which partners with the NHS and has quickly become the UK's largest healthcare provider. As of 2018 they were already profitable and pulling in over $300M in revenues. Its safe to say they understand the healthcare space already and how 23andMe can fit into it.
Branson and the Virgin name will naturally bring a lot of hype to VGAC. Virgin has previous experience with successful and wide-ranging businesses and multiple large mergers, including:
Branson and Virgin are innovators, savvy investors, and take early stakes in challenging industries like space travel, aerospace, telecom, and media. The man literally got knighted because of his "services to entrepreneurship". If identified 23andMe in only 4 months, clearly its a business they are highly interested in and see a lot of potential for the industry.
23andMe
23andMe was founded in 2006 by current CEO Anne Wojcicki as a direct to consumer genetic testing agency (for what it's worth, Wojcicki is also on the the star-studded AJAX SPAC search team). They were most recently valued at $2.5B in 2020 when they raised an $800M funding round.
They became popular for their ancestry platform, providing users with their ancestral background information. They also expanded to provide testing for an array of genetic diseases or pre-dispositions, including; late onset Alzheimers, Parkinson's, Type 2 Diabetes and Celiac Disease.
While the DNA test is their consumer flagship product, the real opportunity is in the data. 23andMe has the world's second largest genetic dataset with over 10 million tests performed (behind their competitor Ancestry at 16 million).
They are currently and will continue to utilize this massive genetic data, with a dedicated therapeutics team. Wojcicki said recently in a 60 minutes interview that "100% of revenues are going into our therapeutics". This is not a direct to consumer testing product, this is a drug company that has a MASSIVE amount of genetic data. The therapeutics team is growing rapidly, showing 16 open positions in therapeutics research at 23andMe, easily the most at the company.
They have already had some success on the therapeutics front. Last year they used their genetic data to create a protein that is able to block autoimmune diseases, this one targeted to psoriasis. They then were able to license this drug to Spanish drug company Almirall.
More importantly, they also secured a $300M investment and 4 year partnership with massive pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) to use genetic data to develop new drugs, in particular for Parkinson's disease. GSK now has a major equity stake in the company and has the scale and expertise to utilize this data set.
In 2009, 23andMe started the world's largest Parkinson's trial with over 11,000 participants using their DNA.
This type of research is groundbreaking for genetically pre-disposed diseases that were previously difficult or impossible to treat. Their main focus at the time is Parkinson's disease and bi-polar an major depressive disorder.
Investors and Partners
Their value hasn't gone unnoticed. As mentioned they were last valued at $2.5B in 2020. Their major investors include Sequoia Capital ($250M), GlaxoSmithKline ($300M), Fidelity, and the National Institute of Health. They also have key partnerships with Pfizer, Biogen, Stanford University, University of Chicago, and Parkinson's foundations including Michael J Fox foundation, National Parkinson Foundation, and Parkinson's Institute and Clinical Center.
For a reference on their valuation, Blackstone bought a majority stake in their competitor Ancestry for $4.7B last year. Note that Ancestry is not focused on on therapeutics research the way that 23andMe is, so while they compete on the DTC DNA testing front, they don't seem to compete on a therapeutics front.
Momma Cathie
Cathie Wood of ARK has been clear in multiple interviews and articles recently that she is VERY bullish on genomics as the industry with the most room for growth in the next 10 years, even more so than electric vehicles and Tesla. Cathie directly tweeted about 23andMe back in 2015 when they only had 850,000 samples collected, so I'm sure she's even more excited now that they're over 10 million.
ARKG already has a number of direct DNA sequencing and therapeutics companies in its top holdings like Twist Bioscience, Pacific Biosciences, and Crispr Therapeutics. Cathie also frequently talks about how the companies with the best and earliest data set have a massive advantage (i.e Tesla autonomous driving because they have the most data on miles driven). She will view the massive mine of DNA data as a gold mine for the genomics revolution.
ARK has not shied away from SPACs in the past, with investments in OPEN, LGVW, DMYD and OAC all being pushed higher with ARK investments in them. In my opinion, 23andMe is a shoe-in for an ARKG investment once DA is confirmed and will send the stock higher and give it an "ARK" floor wherever they enter at.
Risk factors
There are risks associated with VGAC as with every stock and SPAC.
First, the initial reaction to this was muted. It popped from $12.90 to $13.90 on the rumor, and is now in the low $13s. It's possible that 23andMe simply doesn't generate a lot of investor attention as a target. I feel that this actually provides us with a buying opportunity that is being overlooked. With confirmation of a deal and a hopeful ARK buy, investors will begin to see the value of the data they have and this will run up similar to other SPACs have.
23andMe was highly popular in 2018, but their DTC DNA product has suffered recently with sales suffering in 2019 and they were forced to do layoffs in 2020. Ancestry also had to do layoffs as well as the whole at-home testing market was down.
Also important to note that in 2018 they were able to do nearly $500M in revenue (most recent revenue number I could find), but are not yet profitable as of 2020.
Privacy remains a main concern as well when you're dealing with millions of people's genetic code. When pressed on this in the 60 minutes interview, she states that users need to "opt-in" to share their data for this research and that nothing is ever used without consent. 80% of their users opt-in to share their data, which is about 8 million samples that are usable...still a very sizable genetic database to research from. Whether there will be legislation around how this data can be used is yet to be seen.
Another risk stems from the way in which they collect genome data. They use genotyping which is cheaper but less accurate than next gen sequencing technology.
Last, it is over 30% above NAV and is only a rumor. Bloomberg has generally been accurate on these rumors, but its important to note this is not an official announcement.
​
My Play
I currently have a starter position in VGAC commons here in the $13s. It may hover in the 13s or lower between now and the time rumor is confirmed, and I'll be adding heavily if it drops. On LOI and investor presentation, I'll likely add more and I conservatively expect this to hit $18-$20 pre-merger, higher with an ARK purchase.
​
u/HowDoesIStonks also provided a great DD here 5 days ago
Disclaimer: I have a starter position in VGAC commons at $13.50. I will look to add more on any dips and will potentially add more once structure of deal is known. This is not financial advice.
Edit 1: Added a risk factor and Cathie Wood tweet
Edit 2: Thanks everyone for all the feedback and commentary on this! I’ve learned a lot from the comments.
I still strongly stand by my bull case and believe that there is plenty of upside here, both for short term swing traders and long term investors. However I think it’s important to update if I learn something new. After reading this article and learning about the different types of genetic tests, I’ll change my stance on ARKG from “likely” buying to “possibly” buying. 10 million+ DNA tests is impressive and I imagine ARK will certainly consider a position, but it’s important to know the differences between genotyping done by 23andMe vs NGS testing which is more thorough and what ARK prefers.
Good luck everyone!

How does Spacex get from SN9 to an orbital flight in less than eight months?

So since we’re all patiently waiting (and waiting, and waiting, and waiting….) for SN9 and the FAA to stop being such drama queens and fly already, let’s have a moment off and take a look at what milestones come after SN9’s flight.
Lots of people have repeatedly (and correctly) said that the Starship test program is a milestone-based one, meaning predictions on any hypothetical timeline are purely speculative and basically a waste of time and brain cells, as the timelines are incredibly fluid and unpredictable, which is very much true.
However, it seems to me that Gwynne Shotwell’s recent statement about Starship going orbital in Q3 of this year is worthy of a well-aimed shot (see what I did there?) at another step-by-step timeline. When Musk or reddit commenters like myself make timeline predictions, that’s just speculation (although obviously Musk knows exactly where they are in the program and what still needs to happen, he’s just overly optimistic), but Gwynne’s predictions are usually pretty solid and born out by results, so dismissing them out of hand seems a bit silly and arrogant to me, which a lot of commentators have done. I think Elon’s 2019 talk and timeline made us all a bit too excited, causing many to now react by sandbagging any given timelines too much instead. So let’s make the assumption that Gwynne knows what she’s talking about and Spacex really thinks they can get a Starship to orbit in Q3 this year. What still needs to be done to make that a reality? What flights, tests and events are going to happen between SN9 and orbit, and when?
Two notes to pre-empt certain comments:
1: I’m gonna interpret Q3 as meaning fairly early on in that quarter. Gwynne knows better than most how often things get delayed in the rocket business, so I doubt she’d make such a statement if Spacex was aiming for late september. Obviously this is highly subjective and probably wrong, but I’m gonna use early to mid august as the planned launch attempt, with late july being a best-case scenario and late august or early september being the worst one.
2: I think people conflate “getting a Starship to orbit” with “getting a fully and rapidly reusable Starship to orbit”. They are not the same thing by any means. If SN8 had had a booster underneath, it probably could have made it to orbit. Not with any payload (or any way to release that hypothetical payload), not with any way to survive re-entry (probably, though wasn’t it claimed at one point that Starship could survive a one-time shallow angle re-entry without a heat shield?), and definitely not with the hardware or software needed to land successfully or safely, but it would have reached orbit since its engines and controls worked perfectly fine on ascent. Remember, this is Spacex we’re talking about. I think they'll be more than willing to lose a Starship on re-entry just for gathering data, and if you’re gonna expend a Starship anyway, why not an early prototype? Sure, they will probably put some heat shielding on it and try to get it back down in one piece, but I don’t think they’re going to wait until the heat shield is perfected if doing so means not going orbital as soon as possible.
So what are the obstacles in getting any of the current Starships into orbit? To me, it looks like there are two big show-stoppers that will be a real challenge to overcome:
1 getting enough Raptor engines
2 getting the orbital launch mount operational
This is assuming that launching, flying and landing the Superheavy booster will be as “easy” as Spacex expects (as in it’s just a scaled up falcon 9) and that the current Starship prototypes are structurally strong enough to withstand max-Q. While these should not be taken for granted, they should also not create (m)any unknown unknowns. Spacex knows more about how to land an orbital booster than anyone else on earth, and SN8’s structure held up just fine both under internal pressure and the lateral loads of the skydive manoeuvre. But still, they should not be seen as “completely 100% solved” just yet.
As for the Raptors, that’s a complete mystery. We don’t know how many they are producing at the moment, we don’t know how fast they can ramp up production, we don’t know how many more Raptors will be lost during test flights, and we don’t know how many engines the first booster will need. So anyway, here’s my best guesstimate:
they need ~25 for a booster, they need ~20 for all the Starships between now and that first orbital flight (though not all at any one time), they will lose or take apart 5 to 10 Raptors over that time (pessimistic estimate to be safe), and they have around a dozen or so that are currently flight-capable (some on SN9, some at boca chica, some at mcgregor). This means that Spacex will need to produce at least 30 Raptors over the next six months to make it all happen. Meaning an average of one a week. Last we heard they were somewhere between one every two weeks and one every week, so the sooner they reach that 1/week milestone the less ramping above that they will need to achieve. This will be a challenge for sure, but it seems doable.
The orbital launch mount is an even bigger question mark. Its foundation pillars were completed very quickly, but since then it doesn’t look like much has happened to it. All I feel somewhat certain predicting are that there will be no big stationary crane by Q3, meaning Spacex will probably just bring in an even bigger mobile crane that can lift a few hundred tons of empty Starship a 150 m into the air (tip of the nose) and put it on top of the booster already on the stand. The pad itself will consist of a platform on top of the pillars that supports and holds down the Superheavy booster, with the fuel connectors on the side and a big hole under the engines with some flame diverter or suppression system underneath (whatever Elon and friends came up with, it better be sufficient). And yes, from what I’ve read the fuel farm can (barely) fill up one Starship Superheavy stack, though it will probably be enlarged regardless.
So, now that that essay is done, let’s move on to the actual timeline:
​
february
- SN9 flies
- SN10 is pressure tested, static fired and towards the end of the month flies
The flights beyond SN9 are all pretty much educated guesses (feel free to come up with your own), but to me the most likely next step is a faster, but still powered and controlled, ascent. Basically lift off like SN8&9 did, but don’t go upwards slowly by deep throttling and shutting down engines. Instead continue to accelerate faster and faster until SN10 is at its max-Q (as a reference, the falcon 9’s is at only 14 km), upon which throttle way way down to let gravity do its thing until SN10 comes to a relative stop just like SN8 did, before skydiving down and landing, only from a much greater height. I’m not sure at what altitude this v=0 point is, but it probably will be between 20 and 40 km up depending on the velocity and altitude at max-Q. This flight would be a proper shakedown test for the structure of the Starship, while also giving Spacex high-altitude data and practice with their belly flop in the upper atmosphere.
- SN11 is finished and rolled out for pressure testing
- BN1 finishes stacking and is rolled out to the launch pad (BN1 only has 2 to 4 engines, so no orbital mount needed for this one)
​
march
- SN15 finishes stacking, but does not get rolled out
- SN11 flies to space
The first Starship to go ballistic and cross the karman line. I don’t see much point in flying ballistic trajectories with the apogee still in the atmosphere, as that is not a profile Starship would fly under normal operations. SN11 is therefore my pick for the first Starship to lift off, fly at full throttle until its big tanks are (nearly) empty, cruise upward to an altitude of 111 km (come on, it’s Elon, you know he wants to go higher than new shepard and the ship is called SN11, no way that thing isn’t going to 111 or 111.1 km), before diving back down and (hopefully) landing.
- BN1 is pressure tested, has a static fire and hops
This one honestly should be pretty straightforward, a simple 150 m hop on two or three engines. It might not even have grid fins to avoid the risk of those big bags of cash getting damaged. Still, small hop or not, It should be noted that this will be the biggest booster ever flown, let alone landed, so no small feat.
- the orbital launch pad now becomes THE priority for construction
​
april
- SN15 gets at least a partial heat shield
- BN1 has a higher hop
Before Spacex risks landing (and losing) a booster with dozens of Raptor engines, they will want to make sure their models, calculations and predictions are correct by flying and landing a booster with as few engines as possible. To me, the safest way to do it would go like this: Spacex puts those big grid fins on BN1, flies it slowly upwards a few km, brings it to a halt, shuts off the engines, and watches it drop like a rock. This will pretty much be as low-energy a version of the booster coming down from space, using its grid fins to steer over to the landing pad, re-lighting its engines and landing safely as you can get.
- BN2 starts stacking
Might seem a bit late since parts of BN2 have already been spotted, but waiting until BN1 successfully hops before starting on BN2 makes sense to me. We know that BN2 will have the 20 outer engines meaning it will be a full-on orbital class booster. If Spacex does indeed start building it before BN1 hops then that means they are VERY certain their booster design is sound, which is both encouraging and somewhat alarming.
- lots and lots of orbital pad work
​
may
- SN15 flies
SN15 is very clearly the next big thing in the Starship lineup. SN8, 9, 10 and 11 are all basically carbon copies of each other with some minor differences. SN15 is supposed to have major upgrades, meaning it will have more than one major change from the Starships that came before it. My prediction is that SN15 will have some or all of these four improvements:
None of these are strictly needed for getting to orbit except maybe having six engines, depending on the Thrust/Weight and delta V of a three-engined Starship with no payload, but any of them would constitute a major upgrade over SN8 through SN11 for SN15. The one thing I think this Starship will have for sure is (part of) a heat shield, to get that test campaign started. Since Musk’s tweet contained “upgrades” SN15 probably will have some of the other changes as well. I’ve seen people claim that SN15 will have the thinner steel skin. Do we know this for certain? If so that would allow it to fly much higher and faster than SN11, giving it the extra delta V to get into space and shortly after reaching apogee, burn prograde to enter the atmosphere at a very high speed, simulating a re-entry and giving the heat shield its first real world test.
- BN2 is completed
- the orbital stand is finished
- SN16 is rolled out and static fired
SN16 is the one that I think will go orbital, meaning it will have all of the four upgrades mentioned for SN15, which also means that it will be tested and inspected more than any other Starship before or after (until crewed flights begin anyway).
​
june
- an even bigger mobile crane arrives
- SN15 flies for a second time.
Spacex has to start reflying Starships at some point, and if SN15 survives its first flight they might as well fly it until destruction, to see what component fails first.
- BN2 is put on the orbital pad and static fired with more, and more, and more, and more engines
- SN16 is put on top of BN2 to test the connection
Not having a launch tower means that the entire stack must be fueled from the bottom of the platform, including Starship. While this will basically force Spacex to get orbital refueling working on the ground right from the start, it also means a whole other list of tests and modifications to mate the booster and ship fuel systems together. Not a huge problem, but not negligible either.
​
july
- pressure testing is done with the full stack
- a short all engine burn is performed by the Superheavy with the total stack on the launch pad
​
late july/early august
- The biggest, most powerful rocket in history lifts off.
​
Obviously the exact chronology can (and probably will) differ massively, but I feel like I have compiled a decent path to orbit in Q3 for Starship.
If you disagree (which you have every right to), I would be very interested in hearing what you think will be the milestones and flights between now and orbit, assuming that Gwynne’s prediction of an orbital flight in Q3 turns out to be correct.
Looking forward to your opinions, reactions and personal takes.

Titan Medical ($TMDI) - An emerging leader in surgical robotics. Why Titan Medical is poised to replicate the 11,000% returns of Intuitive Surgical, and why I have recently become so bullish.

I DON’T LIKE TO READ. DO YOU HAVE ANY VIDEOS I CAN WATCH?
GIVE ME A COMPANY OVERVIEW
Titan Medical is a medical robotics company, based in Toronto, Canada, which recently completed an incentive based partnership with Medtronic, the largest medical supply company in the world. Titan Medical’s flagship product is the Enos surgical suite, an ergonomic, single access surgical system, that uses multi-articulated instruments with fluid motion guidance to replicate natural movement. Their workstation is smaller and more mobile than both the Intuitive and TransEntrix surgical suites. With a single port of entry, the Enos requires minimal innervation, resulting in less trauma and scarring than its competitors. They are lead by chairman and CEO, David McNally, a 33 year veteran in the medical device industry, and the co-founder of ZEVEX, an award-winning medical device company.
TELL ME ABOUT THEIR FLAGSHIP PRODUCT
The Enos surgical system, which was rebranded in September of 2020, is a mobile, single access surgical suite, designed in coordination with laparoscopic and robotic assisted surgeons. Unlike other devices, such as the da Vinci from Intuitive Surgical, the Enos was developed as a cost-effective, single-incision system, with reusable multi-articulating instruments, and a small footprint. In addition to traditional operating room procedures, the Enos targets underserved markets, such as a small ambulatory surgical centers. The Enos was designed with an open architecture, allowing it to adapt to future instruments, beyond traditional graspers, hooks, drivers, and scissors. To date, it has completed numerous pre-clinical procedures, including hysterectomies, nephrectomies, cholecystectomies, gastrectomies, splenectomies, and colectomies. For peer-reviewed abstracts, please refer to page 14 of Titan Medical’s investor overview.
WHAT DOES THE MANAGEMENT LOOK LIKE?
Titan Medical is lead by chairman and CEO, David McNally, the founder of Domain Surgical, and the co-founder of ZEVEX, an award winning medical technology company. He is also the co-inventor of over 40 U.S. and international medical device patents. Look at this man. He is the most CEO looking guy that I’ve ever seen. He’s been building successful companies since his early twenties. At research and development, the company is lead by Dr. Perry Genova, PhD, an accomplished biomedical engineering executive. Dr. Genova previously managed Centauri Robotic Surgical Systems, a private company specializing in robotic stereotactic neurosurgery. Prior to that, Dr. Genova was the president and CEO of Oncoscope, a medical device company that was acquired by SpectraScience in 2016.
DOES TITAN MEDICAL OWN ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY?
Yes, Titan Medical has 58 issued patents, with 84 patent applications pending.
DOES TITAN MEDICAL HAVE ANY INTERESTING PARTNERSHIPS?
Yes, and for me, this was the most important recent milestone. In June of 2020, Titan Medical entered into an agreement with Medtronic to advance the development of their robotic surgery technologies. The agreement includes a 10 million dollar payment, and an additional series of payments totaling $31 million in exchange for Medtronic’s right to license certain technologies from Titan Medical. Medtronic is the largest medical device company in the world, and they are making substantial efforts to compete with Intuitive Surgical. Medtronic has a long history of billion dollar acquisitions. For example, in 2018, they purchased Mazor Robotics, a medical robotics company that specializes in spinal surgery, for $1.7 billion. If I had to speculate, I believe there is a high probability that Medtronic acquires Titan Medical.
DOES TITAN HAVE THE CAPITAL TO CONTINUE DEVELOPMENT?
Yes, please refer to the paragraph above, which discusses their partnership with Medtronic. You can view Titan Medical’s third quarter 2020 press release here. You can view their $10 million technical milestone press release here.
WHAT OTHER INTERESTING DEVELOPMENTS HAVE OCCURRED RECENTLY?
  1. In addition to their partnership with Medtronic, Titan Medical released a regulatory update, from the FDA, which indicated that the Enos system is appropriate for classification through the De Novo pathway, and confirmed that Titan Medical will file a clarifying pre-submission for Investigational Device Exemption studies.
In view of the FDA’s written response and other information available to the Company at this time, the Company would likely proceed with a De Novo classification request for its Enos system in place of a 510(k) submission. Should the FDA grant the De Novo classification request, the Class II device would be cleared to be marketed.
  1. In late 2020, Titan rebranded its surgical system, the SPORT surgical system, to the Enos robotic single access surgical system, so it could better represent its design and capabilities.
  2. In late 2020, Titan Medical obtained two additional U.S. patents for methods and apparatuses for camera positioning and hand controller Apparatus for gesture control and shared input control in a robotic surgical system.
  3. In September of 2020, only a few months after Titan Medical inked a deal with Medtronic, we saw a major increase in institutional investment. JP Morgan increased their equity in Titan Medical by 29,600 shares, for a total of 47,000. Bank of America increased their position by 60,900 shares, for a total of 70,605. Two Sigma Advisers, the famed hedge fund which uses AI and machine learning, increased their position by 73,500, for a total of 220,600 shares. Other notable institutional investors include Capital One, Morgan Stanley and Royal Bank of Canada.
WHERE DO YOU SEE THIS COMPANY IN THE FUTURE?
At this stage, I consider Titan Medical to be an early iteration of Intuitive Surgical ($ISRG), which is a leader in robotic-assisted systems. Intuitive Surgical developed the famed da Vinci surgical system, which received FDA approval in 2000. Since the release of the da Vinci system, Intuitive Surgical’s stock has appreciated over 8,000%. There is a growing consensus that robotic-assisted companies will become the leading investment class over the next several decades, even outpacing dominant stocks, like Amazon or Apple. Considering the competitive landscape, the previous success of Intuitive, the rapid growth in robotic technology, and Titan Medical’s partnership with Medtronic, it’s reasonable to consider that they might be acquired by Medtronic.
WHY SHOULD I SPECULATE ON TITAN MEDICAL INSTEAD OF INVESTING IN INTUITIVE SURGICAL?
The easiest answer is the best answer. This is a microcap stock forum, and our goal is to discover and speculate on companies before they reach extraordinary valuations. Intuitive is an established company, and the majority of its yield has already been realized. Titan Medical is an early stage, medical robotics company, with a suite of emerging robotics technology, and a series of upcoming triggers both in the near-term, and over the course of the next several months and years. Their incentive based partnership with Medtronic gives them access to capital, engineering, and leadership, ensuring the company can reach full commercialization.
HOW WELL WILL THE SURGICAL ROBOT MARKET DEVELOP?
There are various opinions on this subject, but all reports indicate massive growth over the next 5-7 years, citing CAGR rates between 16-25%. You can read analysis from Emergen Research and MordorIntelligence. The competitive landscape is straddled between a fragmented market, without dominant players, and a consolidated market, dominated by only a few major players. More specific reports, such as the Global Urology Robotic Surgery Market 2020 report, cites Titan Medical as a top player in the robotic surgery market. Historically, and recently, companies like Intuitive, Stryker, Verb Surgical, and Medtronic have made several acquisitions, all in an effort to gain an edge. I believe this reinforces the possibility that Titan Health could be acquired, especially considering the ENOS system has unique engineering elements and patents that existing and developing surgical suites do not have.
WHY ARE YOU BUYING IN RIGHT NOW?
I have been following Titan Medical for over two years now. Previously, I was hesitant to invest due to their financial situation. I wasn't certain if they had enough capital and resources to reach commercialization, but I remained highly interested. Their presentations during 2020 were compelling, especially when they presented at the H.C. Wainwright conference. I was on the verge of opening a position, and when Medtronic announced their deal, I was convinced this is was company I wanted to speculate on long term. Recently, I've noticed an increase in major institutional investments, and the regulatory feedback they have received from the FDA has been great. It creates compelling headlines, and brings us closer to an ultimate FDA clearance. Based on sentiment and activity analytics, I believe that they’re entering the beginning of a hype period. I expect we'll begin to see numerous articles and forum posts about them. For these reasons, and several more, I increased my position on Friday by 6,000 shares.
WHERE ARE WE AT IN THE HYPE STAGE?
Let me preface by stating that I almost exclusively prefer to enter positions before any hype exists. You will make significantly better returns by positioning yourself before the crowd arrives than you will by chasing the hype after it has occurred. Based on market sentiment, and the frequency at which Titan Medical is referenced on YouTube, reddit, and other social media and investment platforms, I believe we’re at the beginning of the bell curve. I use a proprietary sentiment tracker, which I cannot release (it’s not mine), however publicly available systems, such as Google’s trend analytics, show that activity has recently broken a 30 day high. For the first time, over the last 1-2 weeks, I’ve begun to see the first references to Titan Medical on various YouTube channels. However, the activity on Reddit is currently very small, which is good in my opinion, since Reddit tends to be last in the hype cycle. By the time stock picks become hyped on Reddit, most of the short term gains have been had.
WHY DO YOU HAVE SO MUCH CONFIDENCE IN THIS STOCK?
My background is in medicine and human physiology, while my more recent work and education is in financial markets. Although I was not a surgeon, I have an adequate medical background to understand the need and utility of surgical robots, and to be able to accurately interpret research publications. I have a network of friends and colleagues in the industry that have helped me review the company, including several laparoscopic surgeons. However, the majority of my confidence comes from Medtronic. As a partner and investor, Medtronic received exclusive access to the finances and engineering of Titan Medical. They were able to investigate the company beyond what any of us could accomplish, and these investigations resulted in a significant partnership. Based on Medtronic’s success, their history of acquisitions, their extensive resources, and their explicit desire to dominate the robotic surgery market, I believe Titan Medical is a winning investment. Because Titan Medical is in a pre-commercialization stage, the masses have not yet noticed this stock, and I believe that provides an asymmetrical risk due to the enormous potential profit. Even at early speculative stages, I expect this company to have a billion dollar market cap.
THIS SOUNDS INTERESTING. HIT ME WITH SOME CRAZY HYPE. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IN AN IDEAL SCENARIO?
If Titan Medical were to achieve a market capitalization similar to Intuitive Surgical, it would reach an equity share price of approximately $1,140/share. This would amount to an estimated 46,500% increase from Titan Medical’s current share price. In the short term, I believe we see major price action based on their Medtronic partnership, their improved financial situation ($10M bought deal offering is expected to close on Jan 29th), their FDA milestones, and their pre-clinical operations. Based on the impressive price action on Friday, and over the course of the previous week, I expect this company to start hitting Reddit, YouTube, and other major forums, which, believe it or not, has been a major indicator for short and long term stock gains.
TL;DR: Titan Medical is a surgical robotics company that developed the Enos surgical suite, an innovative, single-access surgical system, designed in coordination with laparoscopic and robotic assisted surgeons. This company plans to replicate the success of Intuitive Surgical, a surgical robotics company worth over $87 billion, who’s share price has increased over 11,000% since the introduction of their da Vinci surgical system. In addition to their rebranding, Titan Medical recently completed an incentive based partnership with Medtronic, the largest medical device company in the world, which will provide financing, board oversight, and research and development assistance. This is a major milestone for Titan Health, because it ensures their success, either through their own development, or through acquisition. The stock has been on a steady upward trend since the deal was announced, but based on recent volume and online activity, and growing institutional investment, I believe it’s entering an accelerated bullish phase.
POSITION: 12,000 shares of TMDI
