“No” is an easy, instinctive, low-risk answer that most companies are going to reach for as they have no motivation to accept your chip. The easiest way in is to find someone who has an inside position and an interest in the chip. Get some of the security / IT people on board and you’ve got a start. Get the CEO on board, and you’ve got a lock on it. Or as my Mother has told me so often over the years, " It’s not what you know, it’s WHO you know."
