Ditto the above ... and I hope they learn from others and the past ... you don't start out at the top or in the majors ... you start off in little league ... and spend years to get the minors ... and then years more to even have a shoot at the majors.

Start off selling small scale , low volume ... then later if one's market demand supports it , then you scale up to try and take advantage of economies of large scale... years after your product is proven , is in real world people's hands, etc.

There are many smaller scale companies that have been in production of niche products for decades ... if that's your market demand ... live with it ... until the market itself changes ... there are many examples of companies trying to skip quickly to the majors ... and go way big way too fast , or faster than the market demand for the product ... and it can destroy the company ... even if they have an otherwise fairly good product... a product that could have sold in the small scale niche long term.
