Did Notion focus on selling before they had the any semblance of a product? I thought the founders holed up in a Japan for months to get an early version implemented before things started taking off.



Sorry for the ambiguity, I meant I shared the feeling with OP that it felt like people around me were selling while I was building, but it can't be so wrong since there's success stories of companies like Notion that similarly focused on building.
