What did working inside the company change about what could be said to a prospective investor?
The theory was good. What we learned inside was that it had not been proven at scale, on large pipelines, and the installation cost inside a pipeline was being understated.
How were those two gaps handled with the company and prospective investors?
We brought them up. Transparency is the most important thing, and we do not want investors losing money, so we told them why we were still involved: we still believed in the technology. When people are clear on the risks, it often does not change their decision. That is why you keep long-term investors. They know they will get a straight answer from you.
