Ask HN: How to answer this incubator application question?

The other posted comments are correct. Alternatively, it could also mean just how well the co-founders communicate, cooperate, and come to a consensus on 'pivoting', how to 'gain traction' and how to 'make money'. Time is $, and how quickly you and your team can adapt to the challenges is the main challenge in the face of all other challenges. Good luck.

Maybe pivoting? Deviating from the original idea can be a hard choice, especially if all the work up till now has gone towards the original.

I think pivoting is one of the most difficult obstacles an entrepreneur faces, not just from a technical or conceptual point of view, but also from an emotional one.

Gaining traction. Making money.

Perhaps, even solving a significant technological challenge and how it will result in the aforementioned challenges being solved.

This answer is not based on experience, but rather my best educated guess.
