Startups that are named after their founders sometimes do not succeed. As a startup founder, you should be concerned about whether your product or service will be a success or not. You need to keep your startup lean and agile and not become big with too much money and too many people. Choose a unique brand name.

This theory has become so influential that I have called it one of the three pillars of the lean startup - every bit as important as the changes in technology or the advent of agile development. Instead, we do everything possible to validate the founders belief. We dont just abandon the vision of the company at every turn.

Its to everyones advantage to let the world think the founders thought of everything. I say this as a founder: the contribution of founders is always overestimated.
