Your Product is your Team. Period
Of course in a startup it's important to confirm the viability of the Business Model. Of course you must reach your Product/Market Fit as soon as possible. Of course you must achieve all that points before you run aout of money but...
Your real goal must be to create a TEAM!
A Team is much more than a group of people with diferent skills who can work to achieve goals told before. A Team is a sincronized unit capable to work on what they believe really cares, true to their values and principles.
Benefits and Scalability are consecuences not Goals of this perfect machine.
Does it make sense to you? Also if your answer is "Yes" or "Not" I'd like to talk and debate about that my Main Principle: "Your Product is your Team".
