AND

Founding question — word by word

“And” marks a key condition in the question. It expresses that managing the platform is not enough — you must also guarantee its durability.

“Run and sustain” means both halves are required: a marketplace that works today but cannot last is not the goal. The conjunction links short-term operation to long-term sustainability (see Sustain).
