tldr (tim reilly)
@tldr
was hoping people would start extending this... to push back a little – if the "idea" includes "being in the correct, exploding market", pmarca may argue that you can win there with mediocre execution (if "execution" is an extension of "team") (searching for @dwr.eth walk and talk about his #1 advice to founders)

Nuance in all of this of course, but I don't think so. I agree that in exploding markets bad execution can be papered over for awhile But, over a long enough time horizon, execution will be the ultimate decider. The winners will have had relatively perfect execution in that exploding market. The losers will have fumbled the exploding market because of their execution. This isn't identified until after the exploding market falters in some way, however.

hmmm i guess… perfect processes + mediocre team = you win perfect team + bad processes = you lose perfect market + bad team = coin flip perfect team + bad market = you lose bunch of ways to spin this; it's a good thing for early founders to reflect on
