Some hothouses have competencies that understand that it’s really hard to get products smashed and launched out there. And whittle that down to both tech specs as well as a function of timing on scale.

Some founders become press-and-media-savvy only at their third pivot. We don’t hear a peep until they get it right, or when they have media money. Is this the norm or is there fact finding fault commissioned to investigate what caused the wrong relay trigger from dev to management?

When does it happen for them exactly? When their platforms fold, and decide to acquire their content? The serious treps tend to find time to make sure they own their own content builds – don’t share and don’t have ambiguous trails of product that people can play with or build tools from.

When that happens, we look at certain attributes for original capacity in their builds: it so happens there isn’t much latitude with springing capital to those who have no real motive in making their prosucts, keeping their companies and are more interested in the flip.

So the real deal will be buried and not bother about media until they have built their stuff. When this happens, social is made the tool.

Social businesses thrive within the borders of social and comfort zones are given more leeway to retail responses. Their customers become merely valuable database. Two restrictions make this impossible to recover from a social faux pas – 1/ when products are not connecting you to your target or real audience, 2/ when you build primarily according to their tastes and perceptions and not lead with your salutations of what your product was meant to be.

We can measure the disservice of that in gaining audience but meteing valuable resource not having them understand your product.

Is this a marketing mishap or a crucially fundamental one?

You’ll find out if that was useful at exit or after it’s full use, built your backend database and gained sustainable knowledge for better future builds.

In which case, organic social is what happened – and product need not be rushed forth. That launch and about page are important and getting the mission concepts down to be filled in later on to the detail by the team effort, and establishing proper product.

This is crucial in all types of businesses and can only be breached by life and mishaps that might signal pivots to more endgame-ready social enterprises. So a real system can be approached, gained and refined to the business in time, and looked after with more pivotal attention.
