One thing to note is that "coming to market" means being able to compete in the market. And this is tough. There are only so many market niches, and if some competing technologies turn out to be better your product has no place. This is the tragedy of engineering: most technologies, even technologies that "work", end up failing, because in any niche there can be only one winner. I'm sure if you've worked on new technologies you've experienced this, perhaps on every technology you've ever worked on.
