I’d be very interested in seeing these products and hearing about the use-cases / applications. Specifically, my prior experience at a startup leads me to believe that building products while doing science can be quite difficult (although there are ways that the two can synergise).
I’d be more optimistic about someone claiming they’ll do this well if there is an individual involved in the project who is both deeply familiar with the science and has build products before (as opposed to two people each counting on the other to have sufficient expertise they lack).
A separate question I have is about how building products might be consistent with being careful about what information you make public. If you there are things that you don’t want to be public knowledge, will there be proprietary knowledge not shared with users/clients? It seems like a non-trivial problem to maximize trust/interest/buy-in whilst minimizing clues to underlying valuable insights.
