To paraphrase my brilliant cofounder, mentor and tough sparring partner:
"The biggest lie you techies tell to yourselves is 'Build it and they will come'. Nope. Nobody ever comes by. I've beaten competitors with the better product again and again. Know why? Because marketing builds growth, growth builds revenue and revenue enables hiring brilliant people to fix your product, all the while the brilliant product people are still waiting for customers."
Let's say I've have been having kicked my ass more than I can count on some beliefs I've had, but I yet have to regret working with him.
