About a year ago, we were approached about a project, but the investors turned it down. After mulling on it for a year, we wanted to revisit it. The time to prototype and level of risk are much less. Turns out they went and built it anyway without us and it flopped.

Maybe we dodged a headache, maybe we could have done better, maybe we should listen to the investors. Tech feels like 99% of the way to solve the problem, but sometimes it’s less than 50%.
