1) Build the product 2) Sell the product

In that order. Get whoever you need to do that well.

That works great, unless you want to survive. The right order is 1) Build the product 1) Sell the product. You won't know for sure what you're actually building until you're trying to sell it and have prospects looking at it. And if you're done building before you start selling, you a) won't have anything somebody wants to buy and b) will be flat broke. Just sayin.
