To play devils advocate for a second, the law of averages states nobody should ever found a startup. Or any business for that matter.

It’s rare that startups gain traction because they have the highest quality product and not because they have the best ability to package, position, and market it while scaling all other things needed to mane a company.

They might get acqui-hired for that reason, but rarely do they stand the test of time. And when they do, it almost always because founders stepped aside and let suits run all or most of the show.
