Your NEXT BIG THING? Research* shows that it's likely to fail in some way. Not because it wasn't the right play. But because...
...of self-inflicted wounds in execution.
If it's the NEXT BIG THING
then definitionally it must require
significant investment of multiple teams:
• Product
• Eng
• Sales
• Marketing
• Finance
• Legal
• etc, etc, etc
If it doesn't,
it's probably not your NEXT BIG THING.
