Really curious what Boosted Boards' 'bigger ambitions than making skateboards' are! A friend has one of their Kickstarter boards and it's unreal.

They are solving the last mile problem in public transportation. That's a very large market.

This is maybe beside the point of this video, but the editing of this interview is truly annoying. I guess it fits a lots of information in twenty minutes, but cutting pretty much after their first sentences right into a next question... I feel breathless.

Agreed. I really like listening to Paul Graham's longer responses. I'm left wondering how he and Jessica elaborated on most of these questions (if they did).

But isn't that their current ambition? Where's the bigger picture?

I believe their ambition is solving the problem presented in one of YC's requests for startups -- specifically short-distance personal transportation for everyone.
