distribution

“I've never cared about discovery and about distribution. I think, like, the best stuff gets discovered automatically.”

“I think in the last five to eight years, because of many of the reasons we discussed earlier, is distribution has been available through the app store, and so a lot of power has moved to product. I think it is now moving back to distribution,”

“Because distribution is no longer, it's commoditized now, and the internet did that.”

“I think if you can solve distribution and get your product out there, whether it's a B to C company or B to B company, lots of other problems go away, right?”

“It's not the best product that wins, it's the best distribution that wins, and that the best distribution creates a feedback cycle that allows you to have the best product over time, but distribution wins over product in the early days.”

“If you have a business that's focused on innovation at the core, that's not actually a business. It becomes a business when that innovation becomes product, becomes distribution, when it has an advantage on data and other things. Those are real moats.”

“In terms of speed of learning, right, I actually think it's a fantastic sort of like, as you said, accelerant to the speed of learning in a bunch of these areas because you can turn on distribution however you want overnight when you're ready to do it.”

“A shortcut to distribution is to create demand through open source models.”

“Today, if you look at the internet, we can all write on the internet. Distribution is no longer a limiting factor. Today, brand and content becomes important, right?”

“It's always been a yo-yo between content and distribution.”

“Distribution, especially in mobile internet software is more important than quality of product.”

“Well, I'm just like, there's two things that would make this fail. One is funding, and two is distribution, and the hardest is actually not the cash, it's the distribution.”

“Distribution is more important than speed.”

“And in the world where product functionality becomes more commoditized of what you can create, distribution and growth becomes the reasons to win. So whoever has the best distribution that is earned, that is competitively defensible, that is sustainable, ah, t…”

“Growth is just an arbitrage game. You are competing with every single other person in the world who wants to get their product in front of users. And that means that your lever points are either the content that you make or how you distribute that content.”
