You can probably get away with not having the perfect product from a technical point of view (or even a platform built by amateurs which will spectacularly explode later on), but how are you going to sell it? From my experience, having good sales (by which I mean, a good selling / marketing strategy, not necessarily going door to door) will make or break early stage startups. Maybe people in SV don't care because they can get funding more easily?
