Where does the money come from? Customers don't magically appear. Any, and I mean _any_ example you can dream of, will require something more than just the product.

Price, promotion, product, and distribution. You need all four.

You realise that businesses are successfully formed without venture capital, right?

I’m not saying “create a business and ignore the entire concept of marketing”. I’m saying that you can create a small business with a tight focus and it can be a success, a great success even, without the necessity of scaling to the level VC investments usually require you to.

I agree. I misread and thought you were saying a product is enough, which is obv. not the case. You need all four things I mentioned.
