Im a physicist for a venture capital startup. The only scientific staff left thanks to layoffs (there were 2 of us to begin with to be fair).

While Id love to share some stories Ive got a sneaking suspicion my immediate superior is a goon. Despite all my frustration I still gotta pay them bills.

In my industry there is a fundamental problem with everyone's product that customers would pay out the rear end to fix. We and our competitors have various "solutions", ours works better than everyone else but still has its problems.

I recently figured out a solution that is demonstratively beyond anything on the market but we cant make it because some other assholes have a patent vague enough to cover the process. They have no clue what they have. So instead of technological progress we are going to sit on the idea and hope they are dumb enough to not figure it out until after their patent expires.
