Looking at the category kings in each of the hottest themes of the last decade, none of the most valuable companies created in any given year were in the hot theme of that year.
Chris has been building something genuinely super cool. I have a lot of respect for people that are able to build things that aren't constrained to the computer, things that function in the real world where the feedback loop isn't so tight and things that don't follow the hype.

Working on the biggest moonshot the food industry has ever seen. Writing an introductory post soon. Who's up for giving it an early read?
Preface for all my posts
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.
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.
Don't invest in growth until your product is peerless. Unparalleled product multiplies distribution channel returns far more than perfecting ads ever could.
I went from spending $1M/day on a global, asset-light product to starting over at zero, building a capital-intensive local marketplace The real risk lies in refusing to evolve.
To unlock word-of-mouth as your #1 growth channel, create something that shatters users' sense of what's possible – an experience so magical, they can't believe it exists.
Inventing new language as a zero to one founder is how you avoid being trapped in comparison with the old paradigm. We all think in categories. Without a new category, you're just part of the old one.

Investors love 'X for X' comparisons, but founders hate them. I don't want to compare myself to Fulfillment by Amazon, I want Amazon to be compared to me.
If you think you're too good for a listicle, you're wrong
If language already exits to describe your product it isn't truly novel

Product-market fit is a misleading term for the ambitious. It implies companies merely slot products into existing markets. None of the legends did this.
The opposite is probably more correct. Product is more important to GTM success than GTM execution.
Searching for an "untapped distribution channel" distracts from the real work – building a truly 10x better product. 10x products can thrive on existing channels.
First-time founder: iterate to the future Second-time founder: design the future
