Interesting. Has anyone ever written a book about founders across the ages? I remember that the US was always a bit Patent crazy and wonder how that translated into getting capital. Bundy invented the time clock but seems to have been a successful marketeer for his earlier clocks.
The Wright Brothers blew a lot of energy defending their patents and not competing in the market.
The balance between hard skills, showmanship and ruthlessness would be an interesting study.
