This begs the question, how did Tesla actually do it? Ultimately he was driven by the inventions themselves, not the business models. This was his genius and his failure.

Licensing the patents worked but it's also worth looking at Tesla's relationship with George Westinghouse who became a patron more than an investor.

What's the avenue for a Nikola Tesla today?
