A short YouTube conversation (Matan Hazanov and a guest) highlighting that having an idea alone is insufficient; timing and execution matter. The speakers emphasize that many people may share the same idea and that being off in timing by months (e.g., six months) can decide success or failure for startups.
I guess my point is idea alone is not sufficient. You know, you have to safely assume as an entrepreneur, you have to safely assume 10 other people, perhaps 100 other people out there have very, very similar idea, just have never heard of them.
Right. Too many entrepreneurs and investors don't put enough emphasis on timing. Right. And it's almost impossible to time a market. There is a time when a particular idea can work and sometimes you could be off by six months. And those six months is when you run out of cash, you don't find success, you quit.
