Absolutely, and it can be a game-changer for resource-limited teams. By collaborating with partners, customers, or even universities, you can tap into R&D you couldn't afford alone, dramatically speed up your time to market, and share the costs and risks of development. It's not about giving away your secret sauce, but about smart co-creation to build value faster and more efficiently.
