Re: [OpenFrog] Hacker, Hipster and Hustler - vision ?

[Meng WONG]

usually the product vision comes from the domain expert. any one or more could be domain experts.

the vision for a core technology startup often comes from the hacker.

the vision for a lifestyle / design innovation startup often comes from the hipster.

the vision for a consumer / b2b business model innovation often comes from the hustler.

take a look at the founder of clerky.com, for instance: https://angel.co/darbywong has both product development tech skills (CS) and domain expertise (JD + startup work experience). he's the domain expert and the hacker, which is the combination Y Combinator selects for. presumably the other founders on the team have hustle and design.

this model assumes there is an innovation of some kind present.

sometimes none of the three roles has sufficient domain expertise to articulate any kind of innovation insight.

in those cases it's usually up to the hustler to out-execute the competition in a crowded space which often includes Rocket Internet.

JFDI inspires, instructs, and invests in innovators.

People recommend Hustler, Hacker and Hipster as ideal startup team. Who of these is then more responsible for product vision ? I know that whole team contributes to the vision but since three roles are suggested, one of them should fill the vision requirement ?

In Facebook, what was role of Zuckerberg ? What was role of Steve Jobs in Apple ?
