From an innovation standpoint, it might be interesting to go with the model of high benefits of success, low cost of failure. That relative skew is what has arguably made the US the leader in this field in the macro.

Startups given the market for engineers in particular actually only have a temporal starvation penalty. It's not like they can't get another job after they fail.

Doing this in a large company might lead to even more innovative products because startups are so under-resourced and governed by promises to investors that they risk becoming myopic and less agile.
