Hyperloop

Get there faster… without the speeding ticket

Hyperloop notes

• Be able to book a seat at certain time intervals (every 3 hours, let's say)

• A train can always add another car

• No random hidden exhorbant (exorbitant??) confusing fees

• Luggage costs based on specific volume and mass, rather than a step function

• Food is healthy and reasonably priced, water is free, WiFi is free

• Overall pleasant simple

We have the power to adapt to change, and we have the power to give form to our future

Take the dirt road. What is my dirt road?

Hyperloop math

• 500 miles

• 1 stretch, 2 stations

• 10 year capex loan

• 100 people/flight x 6 flights/day both ways x 6 days/week >> 4000 people weekly >> 200000 people annually x 25% of market avg over 10 years >> 50000 people annually

• $100 /seat one way >> $5M revenue annually

• 60-80% operating margin >> $3-4M annual op profit

• 60-80% op profit set aside for

Design the system, not just a single product or piece inside of the system

Innovation removes constraints.

Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.
