+This page really needs more/better content!
+
+**Customer Discovery**
+
+Who are our competitors(Intel, ARM, AMD?)
+
+Who might be on our side?(Samsung, IBM)
+
+What is our market size
+
+Why are they going to buy this and why are customers not satisfied with what already exists on the market
+
+ - secure processors - safety critical applications like medical applications
+ - DARPA doesn’t have to order parts in bulk for big contracts for fear of obsolescence. DARPA can change designs more frequently… 
+ - why is processor trust so important(SPECTRE MELTDOWN), JP Morgan recently replaced all their intel processors because of this
+
+**Customer Validation**
+
+Give it to potential customer (who might be some direct customers? OnePlus Chinese Phone Manufacturers??)
+
+Customer likes it.
+
+Customer gives letter of intent that they will purchase this product.
+
+**Customer Creation**
+
+First customer leads to more customers.
+
+**Company Building**
+
+Lots of customers = start focusing on building the company.
