""At some level, it's true for internal conviction, but to build a product that works for a lot of people that is based on a technological breakthrough, a lot of times I see teams just give up too early or underinvest in the product," he added."
""There's a 'cult of lean, scrappy, fast, throw away your product quickly' culture in the tech world.""
""If a product doesn't get good enough internally in a big company, 'it just dies on the vine,' he added.""
A culture of lean, scrappy product teams can cause promising ideas to stall when teams give up too early or underinvest. Building products that serve many users, especially those based on technological breakthroughs, often requires scale, patience, and substantial effort. Foundational AI models took years and hundreds of people, demonstrating that some breakthroughs need large teams and extended timelines.

Startups should plan early for the team size needed to reach internal conviction and external validation from real users.
