Communities: Hard to Disrupt

this is the juice:

Community-building is advice I give to nearly every startup team with whom I work. Competitors can leapfrog you on features or outspend you on customer acquisitions but communities are very hard to disrupt. It’s what venture capital teams at innovators like First Round Capital and True Ventures realized 15 years ago — they could invest in entrepreneurial communities and the best founders would then bring in new founders. It’s no wonder they’ve both performed so well.

Yup. 💯.
