There is such a consensus of thought in the startup world that "ideas are useless, it's all about execution." But, I think this is flimsy thinking. Amazing execution with a shoddy idea doesn't benefit anyone. This account seems further validation of that thought.
I think a great idea has the opportunity to build consensus among founders and aid in forming a team. It seems nearly impossible to find other people to join existing ideas and be as passionate about their promise and future.
