Wait... does anyone believe they have a future? How?
If this was doable and there was a market for it, what on earth would stop Boeing and Airbus from building one with 1000x more experience in designing and above all manufacturing airframes. (Airbus even has the inherited legacy of Concorde through Aerospatiale/Sud Aviation)

Boing and Airbus have lots of things to choose from to focus their (large, but still limited) resources on. Even if they think it is doable and has a market, they'd probably also think that improving what they have is less risky and a bigger market.
I know some people involved in Boom. They simply have no understanding of the physical limitations of supersonic flight. Surprise, they’re all software engineers.
