The whole world will tell you why you're gonna fail as a
startup.

If you don't have that internal fire of belief, if you don't have people who say:

The entire startup ecosystem is best set up to support companies with a low chance of
success but
Sam Altman
that are huge if they work.

Someone at the startup has gotta be the person that's gonna recruit, sell the product,
talk to press
Sam Altman
And this requires someone who can infect with enthusiasm the whole world!
Sam Altman
It's very hard to succeed wildly without that! It's very hard to build a team at all without it.

A fake trend is one where people may buy the product, but don't use it or at least not enough.
