Good addition. But wouldn't product-market fit be filed under execution? Before fully going forward, it's the executors job to analyze the market and make sure the product fits. If not (or the market changes or shifts), it'd be their job to pivot or tweak their execution plan.
I understand, and I agree. That's why execution > idea. But that doesn't mean there isn't any good value in ideas. Good, great, and brilliant ideas are definitely worth a lot to great executors.
Great execution definitely requires devotion, execution, along with probably 100+ other traits.
If I'm a fantastic executor in the beverage industry, why am I not being connected to ideas like the Coke flavored ice cubes? That's just one example, but I'm sure there are hundreds of other great beverage industry ideas.
If my business forte is the sports industry, why are we not serving up those brilliant sports guys with awesome ideas?
Think of it like Aardvark meets ideas instead of questions.
Think of it like Match.com meets ideas instead of singles.
So what do you guys think? Can there be some kind of “idea bank” that seeds a brilliant idea to talented executors that then take that idea and turn it into a brilliant company?
For now, let’s codename it iCombinator or ideaCombinator.
