From the 3 core elements of any startup (Team, Product and Market)... What element matters significantly more?
β
The only thing that matters for a new startup
...
Iβll assert that *market* is the most important factor in a startupβs success or failure.Why?
In a great market β a market with lots of real potential customers β the market pulls product out of the startup.
The market needs to be fulfilled and the market will be fulfilled, by the first viable product that comes along. The product doesnβt need to be great; it just has to basically work. And, the market doesnβt care how good the team is, as long as the team can produce that viable product.
In short, customers are knocking down your door to get the product; the main goal is to actually answer the phone and respond to all the emails from people who want to buy.β
