Two thoughts: The best startups are masters of asymmetric warfare -- they don't fight on the battlefield the incumbent selects. And, users often understand their problems well but are horrible at suggesting features to solve these problems.
What a mistake it is to title-chase when choosing a startup 🤦🏻♀️.
SVP at a company goes nowhere is SVP of nothing. Early teammate at a company that becomes a $10B+ platform biz, grows into a staff engineer, an SVP of product, an extraordinary leader.
Choose company, not title.
