If you’re building a product that can grow virally—a social network, for example—brand is almost certainly less important at launch than product. And in that case, there’s a low barrier to entry from a cost perspective and an experience perspective. And try to listen to the people you’re hiring as experts.

And don’t get me started on how great of a job Netflix does in creating high switching costs (or “community stickiness”) with all of its great ratings and social networking features.
