𝟯 𝗖𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗘𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀

While perspectives may vary, there are three fundamental elements:

• Product

• Team

• Market Alignment

Here’s what different voices say:

• 𝗩𝗖𝘀 emphasize the 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺

• 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿𝘀 focus on the 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁

• Yet, the often-overlooked factor in startups? 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗔𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁

Product and team are within our control, but the market is dynamic, unpredictable, and often underestimated.

Success is always a blend of insight, agility, and alignment.
