What the boards are for
A venture studio's hardest problem is saying no accurately. It is easy to fall in love with a technology and easy to dismiss one that needed a second look.
The boards make that judgment less ours and more the industry's. Market experts say whether anyone will buy it, technology experts whether it can be made at scale. Then we decide.
It is also why demand is established before a company exists, rather than discovered after it.
