Startups: It's the product, stupid
Seth Sternberg, Meebo CEO, on Getting A Product Out The Door. To a startup, product is all that matters. Everything else: users, partners, connections depends on speedy execution.
At the exact moment you had your idea, ten other people had the exact same idea. There was just something in the environment that made it the right time for folks to think that one up. The race has already begun! Who’s going to execute first? Who’s going to execute best? If you want to waste nine months trying to raise VC money for that idea, great. But six months in, you’re gonna cry when you see someone else put out that same product you’re pitching me right now. Like I said, forget everything else and just get your product out the door. Now.
