Not sure how valuable beating someone to market is. Sure there would be a certain amount of credibility and bragging rights that go with being first to sell "spider silk," but what will really matter is what they are selling. Suppose Bolt Thread or anyone else comes out next month and says they have a contract to make dresses or ties. Then in October Kim comes out and announces he has a contract to sell flak jackets or puncture proof gloves to the military or police forces. I'd say Kraig's would still be the winner in that scenario.
