- Consumer Tech is going out of trendy and
- enterprise is coming into trend
Look up for parallels, for example case studies for how the following company grew

- Clarify edge cases like board seat, shares and voting rights in the event of death
- Date first before marriage
  - need to test them on smaller scope to see if they can deliver (remunerate with profit sharing)

  - engineering
  - design
- Enterprise sales
