Not fun part is when team delivers good valuable stuff but market isn’t there.

[sokoloff]

What valuable stuff was delivered if the market isn’t there?

[oasisaimlessly]

Whatever the sales department failed to create a market for.

[ozim]

It is always possible that dev team did all the code right, good product and still marketing failed or sales didn’t execute for plethora of reasons.

[sokoloff]

It may have been “good”, but I don’t see how it was “valuable”.

(I also think this is fairly common.)

[ozim]

Like OpenAI is losing money on each user - isn’t it valuable or is it?

If they close tomorrow because of lack of new funding would you say whatever they created wasn’t valuable?

[sokoloff]

Are you suggesting/implying that OpenAI lacks product-market fit?

I think they found a market for their product, making what they did valuable. That can still lose money for a time, and even maybe run out of money, but what they have is valuable to my mind.
