This is an execution game – ramp up value, sales, and scale rapidly

Develop and execute a clear roadmap to profitable unit economics and outcompete peers

For investors

Prioritize investments based on early order book traction and rapid sales, while also considering vertical integration and geographical expansion

Support founders in the early stages by assisting them in identifying effective deployment models to achieve a competitive advantage or by connecting them with suitable deployment partners

Also, take into account the financial and risk implications of owning versus leasing assets
