Are you sure that was the right lesson to take for a startup?

Apple had millions of users, an already profitable business (by 2001 barely), and marketing reach that was far outside its market share.

They had the best marketer and product guy in the business for a CEE and one of the best logistics experts for a COO.

A startup probably has none of those things.
