Someone asked me recently "do VCs care more about product or team?"

1. They care about making money
2. Three variables: market, team and product

But if you hold market as the constant (that's a big if), then team tends to be a stronger signal at the early stage, product at the later stage. Ideally you have both.

"Strong" and "weak" are multi-dimensional and hard to precisely define. Not deterministic.

@pmarca has an excellent blog post on this: https://pmarchive.com/guide_to_startups_part4.html

Team first, product later. Both matter tho! 💼💡

When you focus on what you’re grateful for, your perspective shifts. It’s easy to get caught up in what’s lacking, but appreciating the good brings more positivity into your life.

Wishing everyone a day filled with positivity, peace, and little moments of happiness. Remember, even the smallest steps forward count. Keep going! 💫

Let’s celebrate @uniswap Labs! 

We’re dropping a short film about Hayden and the team. We invited the incredible PAM! PAM! (@pamilo) to imagine the official poster of the film and love how the idea of “exchange” is represented by the different characters being “exchanged” for one another.

70% of creator earnings go to the artist (PAM! PAM!) and 30% go to helping us tell and share these important, human stories from the Ethereum community. 

To see more, visit Ethereumfilm.xyz to get your stream of the full feature documentary Vitalik: An Ethereum Story.
