I'm talking more about (roughly) employees #6 -> #30. At that point you have a product vision, but no concrete product.
I don't think this is true, at least not for consumer internet startups. If you can't build a concrete product in this space with 5 people, you probably can't build one at all.

- benmathes 16y agoIf you have your first scalable product with 5 people, there's a good chance that after you start hiring up to 20-30 employees (not just engineers), the market and your product will make large shifts. You'll have to rework and rethink your product after you start scaling, too.
