Re: PLRO Risks
I am not sure exactly what risks you mean, but PLRO will have some of the same risks every other start-up has. I say some (not all) because they have been developing TechroBond for 10 years now. It should be more of execution risks now. However, the scientific team, management team and stellar Board of Directors has me feeling confident about execution.
There is also financing risk, but PLRO seems to have that under control with funds from the old Company and loan from Seattle City Employee Pension Fund. They also state for certain acquisitions ample funds are available. Perhaps that is one perk of having people like a former Managing Director of Morgan Stanley, and Ben Du Pont on your Board of Directors.
Competition is also a risk, but remember we have 57 Patents to protect our technology. Other methods are being studied but they all seem to have problems and drawbacks.
Perhaps the biggest risk is being a "Disruptive Technology". Many huge companies face the risk of losing substantial Revenues and Profits and have resisted change. From PLRO Website:
With TechroBond emerging as the only realistic potential replacement for ZDDP, potential competitors and reluctant end-users are abandoning their adversarial tactics in exchange for more meaningful, collaborative investigations focused on how TechroBond can possibly be the solution that the market seeks.
