Early on, the most important thing is to start building a customer base.
Until you've got customers, you have no idea whether the products and services you're offering are going to be the ones that people want.
So a lot of people spend far too much time building out pages and pages of business plans, thinking too hard about what they're going to do rather than just doing it.
You know, the great fun of launching Kraken was it was the engine that powered Octopus to grow, you know, ultimately to the biggest energy supplier in the UK with, I think, the best service.
But we were able to license it to our rivals as well.
So the interesting thing is the world is more complicated than you think.
And your competitors will work with you if it's in their interests.

We signed deals in eight of the biggest house builders in the UK to build homes where there will never be an energy bill.
