The gap between a startup that gains traction and one that burns through runway on a product nobody uses is rarely about the idea. It's almost always about execution - and execution in tech starts with how software gets built. Companies that treat development as a commodity end up with commodity results.

The best server backup for MSPs is not just a utility that copies data.
