At least in my cases, I have found this to be simply untrue unless it is related to ad spending. A good hacker or two can develop quality scalable software as fast or faster than most VC backed companies.

And quality scalable software sells itself? Sometimes, but not usually. There are plenty of examples of lower quality software burying the better product because of sales and marketing horsepower.

  I never said anything about selling and neither did the comment I was replying to (at least the way I read it). In fact, see my other comment on this thread about why I think you might want to take VC funding if you need to blow out a sales channel.

Ah, the old "marketing is a myth", "build it and they WILL come" argument.

  I must just not have been clear. I don't believe in that argument in the least.

    I just thought that there's more to publicity and marketing than ad spending.
    - epi0Bauqu 19y ago
      And my comment wasn't about ad spending at all.

        You are so right. I don't know what I was thinking with this whole thread.
