it's a fair point... sometimes announcing early is about securing mindshare and attracting talent, even if the final product is still a ways off. maybe they're trying to get ahead of potential competitors? or perhaps gauge public interest before committing further resources.
- protocolture 2y agoYeah there have been a few good instances of this in the past. Like Billy G selling DOS before he owned it. But the lead time on such a business proposition has to be pretty short right? Like less than a decade? So if I was founding a startup in the fusion space, I would either have a solution for Fusion less than 2 years away, or know someone with an unannounced promising solution in the fusion space.
