Product Is the Resume of the Team

Probably the single best predictor of a company's success is the cadence with which it ships. How often are they shipping new updates and new code? It's not the number of hours that drives learning and development; it's the number of iterations that drives learning and development.

The product, especially in an early stage investment, is really just the resume for the team—it's showing you what the team is capable of.

A team that iterates quickly on a high-quality product is much more likely to find product-market fit than a team that's moving very slowly and deliberately.
