“Start-ups want two things: Halo and Lifeblood” (Barry McGeough – renown Innovation leader). What a striking synthesis: ‘Halo’ stands for the reputational benefit of being associated to an established Customer or End User; ‘Lifeblood’ stands for Investors’ funds.
This interesting article by Courtney Albon at C4ISRNET is basically covering McGeough’s concept in the domain of hypersonic rocket engines & vehicles:
Start-ups can get ‘Halo’ from the U.S. Department of Defense more quickly and that adds Halo-credibility when looking for Lifeblood-funds.
‘Tempus fugit’, said the Romans – time flies.
