Re: Product/Market Fit (2007)
#22I don't think this is valid anymore. The author states that team is more important than product. However, if you have a great team you will always have a great product. If you have a bad team, you will never have a good product. For that reason, team = product, so product is removed from the equation. Then you have these three statements 1. When a great team meets a lousy market, market wins This is probably true, si…
I agree that 'lousy team' could describe a team that can't deliver squat. In that case market will get what it needs from somewhere else, because the pull is that strong.
Maybe i'm going too far, but i interpreted this for point #2 from an earlier statement a few lines up:
"The market needs to be fulfilled and the market will be fulfilled, by the first viable product that comes along"
ie: In this case the market wins, but not necessarily by getting what it needs from that 'lousy' team
