Nice story, but:
> It doesn’t matter how amazing your product is, or how fast you ship features. The market you’re in will determine most of your growth.
This is just a cop-out. The market will limit, not determine, your growth. It's up to you to hit that maximum, and use marketing/sales to extend that maximum. That is called creating a market. And overall it's called execution.
OTOH, Sahil isn't wrong. Some markets are either not that ripe (timing is important), don't have enough support, are too niche, and a thousand other factors. But as a generalization, "Product doesn't matter" is just wrong.
