In this post I’m going to describe the flaws of the product development model. In the next few posts that follow, I’ll describe more specifically how this model distorts startup sales, marketing and business development. That’s a better return than having 10 out of 10 companies succeed and each return 2x our money.

The first few months of my startups were centered around building the founding team, prototyping the product and raising money. I’m convinced that starting a company without talking to customers is like throwing your time and money in the street (unless you’re already a domain expert). I was an idiot.

Posted on September 14, 2009 by steveblank Over the last 30 years Wall Street’s appetite for technology stocks have changed radically – swinging between unbridled enthusiasm to believing they’re all toxic. The reality is that VC’s have one goal – to maximize the amount of money they return to their investors.

However, there are lots of companies that are making money from open source and freemium models. The discussions on the posts are quite interesting - and heated. You create something that has value and gets traction and yet youve created it in a way that the software is considered "free."
