Ruben(@rdominguezibar):Qasar Younis (@qasar) shared his biggest advice on commercializing hard technology: put constraints on the commercial side. Pick a box and only do the things that fit in it. Founders tend to skip this because capital is easy to access and the technical problem already feels like enough of a constraint. His reminder: a pitch can work for VCs, and you still have to run a sustainable business. He runs Applied Intuition, valued at $15B and backed by @a16z, @generalcatalyst, @Lux_Capital and @kleinerperkins, and was YC's COO while @sama was president. Via @latentspacepod. Full breakdown of our interview with him in the reply.
