> Wait, this is a startup that doesn’t have a strong product vision from day 1 and isn’t aggressively iterating to find product market fit?
You don't see "strong product vision" and "iterating to find product market fit" as contradictory?

A "strong product vision" is a bad thing when you are "iterating to find product market fit", because most people tend to be unable to kill their darlings and do what is needed to achieve said market fit.
If your "strong product vision" is really as strong as you believe, it should already contain an idea which market and target group is ideal — or if it is a really genius idea, this won't even be necessary because it will create it's own market.
imo vision is “how is your customers world going to change as a result of using your product?” not “this is precisely what the product will look like”.
