Build something good is no longer an acceptable USP for a startup. Any tech of value can be copied fast.
The tech innovator has been replaced at the head of the table by the hustler. Someone who can network, cut deals, bring in the $ is more valuable to a startup this cycle. It's no longer value being traded, it's expected value.
This is what the 07-13 spin of the wheel is all about.
Hustle or die.
- freework 14y agoThis has been my experience. "Hustle" and "Hack" make up the ying-yang of tech startups. Hustle skills are more valued nowadays in SV than hacking skills. Silicon Valley these days is full of hustle and hype, but with no hack to back it up.
