What were the signals that you had something special?

We were trying to solve a difficult engineering challenge that no one in the industry had been able to replicate.

If we could get it to work, it would reduce costs massively for businesses, so it seemed to me at the time that it wasn't a question of product market fit. Of course the market wants this. The only question was, can we build it? Will it work?

When we saw it working, we knew we were close. Didn't know that close was still 3 years away though!
