The Importance of Funding Fundamental Development
The podcast episode highlights the bottleneck that exists in the R&D pipeline between research and productization. The guest, Juan Benet, discusses the need for better funding structures in the fundamental development stage of technology innovation. He explains that while there is ample funding for basic research and production, there is a lack of support for translating early research into potential applications and scaling new technologies. This funding gap hinders the progress of R&D and slows down innovation. Benet suggests that new mechanisms, such as hyper certs and improved grant funding structures, could help bridge this gap and incentivize the productionization of new technologies. He also explores the potential of crypto networks to revolutionize R&D funding by scaling it to the level of nation states.
