Very true in private markets too. Most of outperforming in early stage venture is just getting in front of whatever themes LPs want to allocate to. (Not all of it, but some.) I think this gets even more exacerbated going forward as late stage secondary markets get more liquid.

This chart would have been unimaginable just a few years ago
Sharing one chart from my VR megapost tomorrow The VR competitive landscape is extremely attractive for new devs:
Recently met a founder The business was crushing, but needed one last ingredient for the next level of growth I shared a secret that would solve all their problems: “Open your keyboard. Look between the X and B. Now read it backwards” Never get tired of adding so much value

Founders beware of this advice It's always better to start with a the great product with less-than-perfect distribution. Learning to optimize distribution is much easier than building an exceptional product. Recipes exist for growth, breakthroughs have no set formula.
An average product with exceptional marketing will dominate an exceptional product with average marketing.
