The founders are the foundation of the house. The product is the house. While the product (in the broader sense, including e.g. customer support) is ultimately what's going to make money, you won't get a good product without good founders. Since we see startups so early, it's rarely a choice for us of founders vs products, but rather founders vs ideas for products. Between those two, founders are the more important.
