Pattern Recognition One of the great things about being an entrepreneur is that you are constantly running a pattern recognition algorithm against a continual collection of customer and market data.

Entrepreneurs who have a startup or two under their belt tend to rattle off preliminary customer findings and data that blow me away (not because I think their data is going to be right, but because it means they have built a process for learning and discovery from day one.)

Perhaps the solution to the “punt on the topic&# is to try to get a marketer who has a feel for the “Market Type/Positioning&# question on a startup’s advisory board once the Discovery data is in. As for #3. I agree completely. That’s exactly the point I was trying to make (perhaps badly) with the post.
