So you're looking to attract investors with smaller margins on specialized $500k trucks that don't yet exist for a sector already monopolized by PE?

I imagine it's not trivial to start a fire truck company.

The PE vultures are deliberately targeting business sectors with high barriers to entry. It's part of the grift.
