Needs:

- Blockchain

- IoT

- RMR

- Leasebacks

We're gonna call the company KNsys which we will require everyone to pronounce "kinesis." Our logistics will all exist on a Solidity/Rust hybrid chain powered by KNE, or "Knee" tokens that are L2 ZK rollups for no good reason. Owners of KNE will finance Tosser™s and get to see their utilization - there are only so many Tosser™s in existence at any given time which means as they wear down the opportunity to build new ones helps drive scarcity and investment in a virtuous cycle. The position of any Tosser™anywhere in the logistics cycle will be determined by triangulation on the Helium Network because of course it will be.

I had to look stuff up, slap myself awake reading WTF leaseback or RMR are, and felt genuine regret for writing my shitty pitch.

So, you wanna do sales and marketing? Right now, we can pay with the most precious resources in the known universe: exposure and meatbread.

Unfortunately for us, my friend, neither of us are the children of Enron VPs and thus we are unlikely to get to pitch this to anyone with money.

On the plus side, we may be leaving the era of stupid money behind for a time. I remember when "let's sell pet food UPS" went from world's best idea to world's worst idea in the turn of a NASDAQ; back then you still had to pay workers so our internet serfdom wasn't yet inevitable. But even now, the "let's buy scooters for $150, rent them for 10 cents a mile, trash them after two weeks and expect to turn a profit" company is eating shit, the "let's sell a $200 exercise bike with a $100 tablet for $2500 so we can charge people $80 a month for videos" company is down 84% from its ATH and the "let's do an end-run around the listing process so we can skin the rubes more easily" movement is running out of steam.

Things will get stupid again. So much stupider that a spring-launched orbital payload company will get money. Until then, we'll have to settle for shitty post cards.
