I’m reminded of this TED talk [7 minutes, well worth watching] about what factors matter the most for startup success.
The conclusion: timing matters more than anything else.
Good teams can implement the same idea. But a little too early, and the technology isn’t viable yet. A little too late, and the niche is already filled. It seems there’s a sweet spot for the timing of effective deployment of a good idea.
Cool!

Actually, it might be cool to make a GIF of “how the printing press happened” with graphs like this, if anyone likes doing that sort of thing.
