I get that your team has issues, so fix them and ship the app. I don’t see why this should be so hard, and I don’t think we should accept any excuses for not getting this done in a short period of time.

This email by Mark Zuckerberg perfectly captures why Hyperlaunch’s mantra is “Just build it.”

It’s so on point and smacks of so many experiences with funded startups. When you’re pre-product, getting to market is all that matters; every month wasted is existential. I’ve seen the same thing that Mark describes happen multiple times—when pre-market teams have money in the bank and get caught up in over-engineering and shiny object syndrome. That’s when momentum evaporates.

To quote money ball, everyone just needs to “get on base” and get shipping.
