Vision alone doesn’t provide value – using iterative deepening to create new products.
Technology startups or new products are often sold on vision. While successful new products or ventures start with a vision – which is critically important for fundraising, recruiting staff, and getting your first sales meeting – to be successful and sustainable, products must deliver enduring value.
