Are you a technical founder? I feel like this is the same perspective shared by most of them but in reality, it doesn't work for everything. Marketing has proven itself to be quite effective against services with better features or offering. It's definitely not something to do AFTER you have built that 'perfect' product (it will never be perfect). It's a journey doing both as you move forward. Although I agree with the sentiment for current unicorns. I am just unsure how to compete on product alone especially when it comes to software, if some FAANG has any stake or interest in the same field. You will get devoured eg - elastic search, docker etc or anything that requires lot of data or eroding your privacy. Tech is special that it is very versatile to leverage in other fields and market, should that be considered a violation of anti trust? Why is it not illegal to leverage your existing network to pull one over the small guy? of course, I understand it's not practical on its own to claim something but it should definitely be a metric. Edit: Added more clarification and rant.
