From his latest video where he disclosed / explained his philosphy in investing into Framework. > [VIDEO]
It's gotten a bit more media attention recently as Linus (of Tech Tips/YouTube fame, not Linux/Git fame) has made a rather large investment in them and has been talking about them a lot on his platforms. [VIDEO]
Linus (Tech Tips) talks about how much money would be involved, and going full retail seems to be... very hard: [VIDEO]
Not that I agree with the characterization, but they might be referring to Linus Sebastian of Linux Tech Tips, who invested a bunch of money into the company: [VIDEO]
Linus (Tech Tips) has a good video about why external investment is useful: [VIDEO] , but he's talking about a hardware company, which is probably different to a software one. Skip to around 5:00 to get to topic.
