It’s true though. I’d rather have so-so technology plus great market and marketing than the best technology in the world and sod all ability to sell it. You can always improve the technology later, once you’re generating the revenue to pay for that. But if you don’t have sales you don’t have squat.

Been there, done that, lost the shirt. Lessons learned.

You said technology is the least important part - not that it’s less important than sales or marketing.

Least important doesn’t mean unimportant, just that all the other things are more important, in relative terms.

Yes, and this doesn’t make any sense. There are a huge number of elements to product development, many of which are less important than tech.
