Early startup customers are visionaries just like the founders selling to them. If your startup’s vision is compelling enough, these early customers want to buy into the dream of what could be, and they want to get in early. They will put up with an unfinished system that barely works to get a competitive advantage outside their company (or sometimes a political one inside their company.) They will count on your startup to listen to their needs for subsequent releases or follow-on systems that actually deliver on the initial promise.” - Steve Blank
