Yes, and avoid spending all of the startup (investment) money before the
project becomes self sustaining.

I don't know about everyone else, but it about breaks my heart to see good
people bring a project (like designing and marketing an airplane or jet)
almost to the finish line, then run out of money. Then, the choice is to
sell the company and lose control, and see your dream brought to
completion by someone else with the money to finish up the last 10% of the
job, or give up.

Sad, but it seems to happen far too often in aviation.

I believe that it happens in everything. We are interested in aviation, so
we are more aware of the problem in aviation. The certification process may
make the initial startup a little worse, but the higher threshold of entry
should also make the next phase a little easier.
