Insights

“The bigger risk right now isn’t moving too fast, it’s staying on the sidelines. The companies that wait to see how this plays out are going to get leapfrogged by the ones willing to test, learn, and scale. That said, speed without guardrails is just as dangerous, so we’ve built a measured, crawl-walk-run approach rather than rushing everything at once.”
