The world is full of market frictions. Only products can overcome those frictional market forces because products generate forces. Until your startup has great products, it will not exert any impact on the market because it will have no force to deal with the frictions customers are facing. Do not just build a company; build a product or service!

Yesterday, we chronicled a company which is tapping into the skills of young Nigerians and providing them opportunities in Europe and America. What All Talentz is doing is part of building communities you noted. With those jobs, the human spirit is strengthened.
On this particular post, my focus is making it clear that if people gather in a company and they fail to build that force (the product) that impacts, that company has no value. We cannot have companies everywhere and yet we cannot find solutions to our market needs… that is the point. Thanks for the pointers.
