Founders

the quote 

"First time founders obsess over product. Second time founders obsess over distribution" 

had been living rent free in my head recently and i wasn't sure where it came from or what exactly it meant

upon further investigation, i found this tweet from Justin Kan, who wrote it in 2018. in this breakdown he says he was WRONG – and that product matters most

thrilled to discard this quote from my brain

yeah, i was just thinking, it's still important – but you need to get product right for distribution to matter at all

distribution still matters but it’s better if it’s built into the product feature set
