Your product isn’t your moat. Distribution is.
You can build something technically impressive and still lose to someone with worse tech but better distribution.
Most early-stage startups don’t die because of product quality. They die because:
- No audience
- No traffic engine
- No repeatable lead flow
Before optimizing features, ask:
“How will users consistently discover this?”
If you don’t have a clear answer, that’s the real problem.
