> If there was some other factor why a venture failed and it wasn't timing then it does not even count Thats a misleading idea because it suggests that execution and timing are separable. Who is to say that some company failed because the timing was wrong or because their execution was bad? Furthermore, couldnt it be both? As Drew Houston said, he had to convince people that he was solving a problem that they didnt even know that they had! What I am trying to show here is that Drew created his market, he didnt wait for the right time when people had this problem that they so desperately needed solved. He made them realize it himself. Chalking things up to just timing belittles the efforts put forth by the founders.
