The answer is yeah.

We could definitely make a lot of money doing that.

I think we'd be very successful at it.

But there's a lot of great companies in the US that are already doing this.

Skydio is a great small drone company.

Brink?

Great company.

Teal, great company.

So why would I spend my VC dollars, venture capital dollars, fighting their venture capital dollars, trying to solve the same niche that has already been pretty well solved by other good US companies?

I don't want to do that.

I could use the opposite of the strategy that I have.

What if I only went after areas where there are other good companies already doing that?

Maybe that means that those are good markets.

But how shitty would I feel if the net result of spending a billion dollars in R&D is that I've just killed off 10 other companies that could have otherwise done a good job and the DoD ends up with the same capability anyway?

It's not what I want to do.

So building things that other people are doing poorly is actually very important to me.

I want to be entering areas where the existing people are not doing a good job.

They're charging too much.

They're working too slowly.

Their systems are not highly functional.
