The one I ride has a box in the front that can hold 3 grownups (or a monster trip to the garden store). The motor means I can go 28 mph. On the occasional day where we have a rental car (grandma in town) sometimes I drive the kids to school

Big companies that have reached sustainability require consensus. Startups are basically moon-shots based on hopefully achieving product/market fit. For that (as a VC managing a portfolio) you need a CEO who's willing to stay the

If you can create something living by a combination of non living parts, I think that would be an interesting first. All of the life we know of, presumably has living ancestors. Hence the notion of a "spark" of life that is passed
