I wasn't sure what he meant by premortem.

Apparently you suffer from poor reading comprehension (I explained the term) and are unable to google (it's the top two hits). Given the way you react and the critique others give, I estimate that you have less than 1% chance of success. Much less. I wouldn't take a bet on it, though, since the uncertainty is too high. After all, Facebook started as "Hot or not". But you do not come across as Mark Zuckerberg.

I suspect that your time and money would likely be better spent attending one of the CFAR workshops.
