Goo company "success" foreshadowing for KBLB:

In the meantime, Widmaier and Breslauer [Bolt Threads] spend a lot of time thinking about how to scale production. A short walk from Bolt Thread’s headquarters sits an old warehouse building, marked simply #58. Inside the 16,000-square-foot space, a few professional-grade knitting machines and sewing machines have been set up. The company plans to use the space as a showroom and mini-factory, with textiles in one room and artificial leather in the other. The space is big enough to make metric tons of fiber each year, enough for tens of thousands of shirts. “Every time we put something up for sale, it’s gone almost immediately,” Widmaier says, snapping his fingers. To become a real business, Bolt Threads will need to sell more than a few hundred hats or ties. “For us,” he says, “the scale-up is probably harder than the science.”



But, it's easy, right?

One other thing noted in the Forbes article from last year is how they worked in "stealth mode" for the first five years for fear of failing in public. These guys must have read some of Mojo's posts! LOL!!!

In all seriousness, though, the article is a great read. I'm sure someone posted it before somewhere. Just thought it might not be bad to revisit the info for comparison's sake

Competition is good. All will carve their own niches. May we be the leader, though! Go KBLB!!!
