Interesting, I've never read that book. But that's a nice take: your feedback loop isn't functional enough to notice diminishing returns. Putting it on my list.

Prepare to have your mind blown! :)

Innovator's Solution is probably the better book (same ideas expressed, but more in-depth thinking on how to fix it inside your company by Christensen).

It's a must-read by startups because it puts you in the right mind-set of why your crappy little MVP can possibly disrupt powerful incumbents.

Thanks for your article - I've been enjoying your posts!

Good books, but can't they mostly just be summed up in a page or two?

I'm not sure if I agree that this is actually a case of the innovator's dilemma, that said I wholeheartedly concur with the recommendation of the book--it's fantastic.

Also, I wonder if this strategy makes a lot more sense if viewed through the lens of them being acquired in the next few years.
