>> Greatness awaits those who find secret sauce and share the recipe. Nope. Not in the copy copy copy cat work of software startups. The idea behind your startup matters more than anything else. Not convinced? Go ask the Winklevoss twins. An amazing idea is a critical ingredient for startup success. Only if you have a great idea does execution matter. Success comes from the combination of great idea and great execution. Startup success requires both…. neither are optional. So sure, share your secret sauce if you want competition from people who have only the execution side of the equation. And having only skill in execution is MOST software entrepreneurs. Execution is the easy bit, compared to how devilishly hard it is to have a truly great idea. if someone tells you that ideas don’t matter, that it’s execution that matters, ask them why they don’t create a really well executed startup selling dogshit and apple pies. The idea is the critical ingredient. If you aim to “make something people want” then you’d better have a great idea.
