Let's assume for a moment that UIUC's technology really is an important solar breakthrough. OCTL had leverage to sign an exclusive deal with them before the breakthrough was made. But what is UIUC's incentive to partner exclusively with Octillion now? Octillion is just Rayat, the new CEO (who is also the CEO of another of Rayat's ventures), and a board member. That's it. There's no production expertise or infrastructure. There's no marketing expertise or infrastructure. There's no track record of anything. If UIUC really has the best thing since sliced bread, do you really think they would entrust it to Rayat in an exclusive deal?

Even if they would, they're not stupid enough to leave untold riches on the table. UIUC will negotiate the best deal it can for itself. There will be no windfall for OCTL and its measly $200k investment.

"The things that will destroy America are prosperity at any price, peace at any price, safety first instead of duty first, the love of soft living and the get rich quick theory of life."
--Theodore Roosevelt
