Well, the 2nd Ave subway was first proposed in 1920. It only took them a hundred years to build the first section. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Avenue_Subway

Ah. The context is I was just showing it to my friend for feedback; the plan was to raise capital from HNWIs and "angel" investors. I use "angel" in quotes here because this was intended to be a cashflow business, not a

I once spent a long time building a pretty detailed pro forma model to raise money for a brick and mortar business in a spreadsheet. It was beautifully formatted, comprehensive, and appeared convincing. I patted myself on the back for train
