True.

Explanation:

A technology cycle is defined as the process of developing a new technology from research and development through to product delivery to the consumer. It also refers to the financial returns of a product during its vital life.

Jake Burton developed the first marketable snow board. Three decades later, he is the owner of Burton Snowboards, the leader in the $2.3 billion snow sports industry.

So Burton started a technology cycle from research and development through to financial returns on the product.
