@sama finding this true the hard way. Where were you 5 months ago? If I get my hands on a Delorean and a flux capacitor its all over.
@sama then who should be in charge of the biz Dev? Another cofounder or hiring one?
@sama @AustenAllred A founder needs to spend a good portion of his time on marketing to be successful. 100% product is likely to fail.
@sama @AustenAllred By “marketing” I mean letting people know about the product and discovering what they need/want.
@sama Uh-oh think you put your finger on it - always needed structure and biz dev
@sama Why should BD be viewed as ancillary to product? I say both wins.
@sama bizdev is not talking to customers? Also I refuse to consider "obsessed" a compliment.
