Tamsen Webster explains why many ideas collapse when the founder steps away. For an idea to survive, it needs to be transferable so others can understand it, find it relevant, and defend it without you.
If your idea can't survive and be perceived as defensible without you physically present to be charismatic, to sell, to fill in the missing blanks, then that is the second most common place where your idea will fail. But if that person can't transfer the coherence of your idea to somebody else, inclusive of its relevance, its comprehensibility, and its defensibility, they probably won't even try.
