How to navigate market under bombs.
summary
Summary gives concrete options and signals that actually worked: teams pivot to selling services because Western demand outstrips supply and rates rise, short development cycles produce short high-check MVPs checked with users in ~3 months, set up joint ventures with investor partners to keep dispersed staff employed and route payments, run a yearlong contest with quarterly rounds starting Q4 to showcase projects, and prioritize licensing narrow tech or tools where buyers exist. Service and outsourcing demand is the clearest near-term lifeline.
