I just kind of skimmed the post, but I know more than a few wantrepreneurs who don't seem to understand the importance of a great team and great execution. They think the steps to building a successful company are just "come up with a revolutionary idea" and "find cheap labor to turn that idea into a product".
This post may not be the most in depth thing in the world, but I'm sure there are plenty of people who could learn something from it.
- doctor_eval 3y agoYeah, for one of the startups I founded, my mantra was "build a great business and a great product". But I didn't think I had the bandwidth to do both, I wanted help on the business side so I could focus on the product, so I hired a team to "build a great business". But I wish I had read the bits about cofounders and exec teams. The number of pitched battles I had about management processes in my pre-revenue, pre-customer, barely-there startup took so much of my time, while I was just trying to get the product out the door so we could sign people up. I definitely chose the wrong parters... and it definitely sunk the company.
