Boom (YC W16) – Supersonic Passenger Airplanes

I wonder if you should just sell exclusivity per company.

Imagine if Goldman Sachs were the only bank in NYC with supersonic transport for staff and customers for 5-10y. That might be worth more to them than $5k per seat on every flight. Maybe also to a law firm. Etc.

Exclusivity within a vertical is worth huge practical and status advantages.

TBH we really don't want to lock people out. I was disappointed that I never got to fly Concorde, not even once, and we want to open this to everyone (eventually make it routine).

That's awesome, but if the GP strategy has a good enough chance of helping you get to your goal sooner than otherwise, totally go for it.
