Interesting analogy. A few other thoughts:
- complimentary co-founders (Paul and John collaborated building stuff, George was an expert at execution on the guitar, and Ringo kept them in sync)
- release early and often (in clubs) to get user feedback
- the perfect combo: a smart-ass team (Beatles) with a kick-ass product (pop music) in a big-ass market (baby boomers).
- the right advisers and CEO: Brian Epstein and George Martin. If it wasn't for them, the Beatles might still be bootstrapping in Hamburg.
- mgkimsal 16y ago"release early and often" might as well be applied to their recorded output too. How many bands today would be able to pull off 2 albums of 14 tracks each per year for 2-3 years, including tours, movies and singles separate from the albums? How many could do that with great songs being written along the way, seemingly progressing with each song?
