Tech startups live and die by their speed of shipping software.

I was the single non-technical person on a four-person co-founding team at Justin TV and Twitch. And like, I'll just make it plain: without my three other co-founders, none of that happens. Ideas are a dime a dozen.

I think that more business people need to embrace the idea that great software companies are built by great software engineers. I think if you just look at the facts of the companies we funded, like literally DoorDash or literally Airbnb, or any of these folks, they lived and died by their speed of shipping software.

Yes, and if what they did was buy white label software or have some dev shop in a foreign country making edits to the website, there's a 0% chance those companies would have worked.

Yeah, and so again, who am I to say that won't be some future company that maybe uses one of these things? Yes, but the more that we're exposed to seeing what these companies look like at the earliest stages, even if they don't look like strictly tech businesses, man, there's no way these things would have gotten off the ground.
