That's a problem with "Fake it till you make it" strategies. Some get stuck at the "faking" stage.

- munchbunny 8y agoI think it's a little more than that. When you fake it, you still have to deliver the product.
- village-idiot 8y ago“Faking it” has a variety of different consequences based on what “it” is, assuming you never get to the “make it” stage. If your app doesn’t quite do what it promises, you might get bad press or bad reviews. If you fake your entire business model, you might get sued or go broke. If you fake medical equipment, you might go to jail.
- r00fus 8y agoThere's a huge difference between "faking it" and "frauding it". Lying that you are providing a real service or being overtly oblivious about logical obvious outcomes of sunny day scenarios... that's way shady.
- maxxxxx 8y agoI have read stories about now famous startups and some of them did quite questionable things which they eventually corrected. they could easily have gone the other way.
