Linius has a "bunch of news coming", says CEO.

It should come as no surprise that knowing how, when, and if, disruptive technology is going to work, is something that's impossible to predict.

True disruptive technology means a completely new approach, and that makes investing in it, even trickier.

I recently interviewed the CEO of Titomic (ASX:TTT) and he explained what he calls "the valley of death". The time in any disruptive technology's evolution, where, because your technology is so new, getting someone to bite the bullet and make a substantial commitment to use it, can take a lot longer than you think.

It can even, and often, mean throwing out your original business development model and starting a fresh.

So the key then become survival, timing, and a little bit of luck.

This is what makes Linius Technologies latest deal, with the Indonesian Football Association (PSSI), so interesting.

According to Chris Richardson, CEO of Linius (ASX: LNU), the virtualised video technology company is at a tipping point, and the Indonesian deal, is just the beginning.

I spoke with him about the deal and why he believes it holds so much promise.
