live with Justin Kan: “I actually recant that tweet [attached]. If you don’t have a great product, you’re fucked and distribution doesn’t matter. The more accurate is second time founders care about product AND distribution but that doesn’t sound as good.” Product + distribution > product > distribution

Most of what I’ve seen called “growth” from dev day is really product and not at all about distribution i understand focusing on building a product that has clear differentiation/PMF but FC/WC disregards distribution to an extent that’s pretty surprising for a social product

I gotta say you really don’t understand how growth works. Distribution before retention is a death sentence and your paying money and time to increase churn. Without stable trailing daily actives and features that retain users then growing the user base (short term) is the opposite of progression.

ah, i see so imo Justin Kan would actually say that’s the disciplined and right approach: focus on nailing the product before you focus on distribution because “if you have a bad product, you’re fucked” seems a waste of resources to me to focus on distribution before you optimize product
