Eric Ries: “Don’t Be In A Rush To Get Big, Be In A Rush To Have A Great Product”

This echoes the Einstein quote I regard as my personal mantra:<p><i>"Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value." - Albert Einstein.</i>

What about the startups where scale <i>is</i> the product?<p>Such as Reddit, Etsy, Quora, Airbnb, eBay, or any network effect/marketplace business?

I really like that they are perpetuating this methodology as far as possible. Steve Blank and Eric Ries are developing a logic and ration driven scientific approach to entrepreneurship - very exciting indeed.

Why rush at all?

The Over Capitalization In The Title Is Really Kind Of Ridiculous.
