Most successful startups solve the prerequisites for success before they even get started. Companies that get the sequencing right are exponentially more likely to win. SignalFlare and Mike Lukianoff have already built these foundations. Which one of a few reasons why I'm joining their team as VP of Product.

Most product rebuilds fail because teams build the wrong things quickly. The article argues that true acceleration comes from a three-phase approach: discovering your product's essential value, building foundations that scale, and executing with discipline.
