The Crucial Role of Distribution
The most critical factor for a startup’s success lies in its distribution strategy and the ability to find customers willing to pay. Even with an amazing product, without a strong go-to-market approach, achieving profitability becomes a challenge. For example, the entrepreneur discussed how their first AI startup focused on data privacy failed to gain traction despite having a valuable solution because customers were not ready to invest in it yet. This underscored the importance of identifying not just the right product, but also the exact timing and willingness of customers to spend on a solution.
