Mark Zuckerberg expressed this view at a Y Combinator event, chiding the crowd: “You’ve decided you want to start a company, but you don’t know what you’re passionate about yet.”
Wasn't Facebook an MVP that he put up primarily on a whim? Seems like he derived his "passion" from the fact that it was blowing up.
In fact, weren't Apple, Google ... etc built in a similar fashion? Maybe big vision works best once you have lots of resources and experience.
