Silicon Valley has probably funded a huge number of companies that are really features and not companies. It’s very easy to build a feature and call yourself a CEO. It’s much harder to actually grow a company...

This irked me a bit. I wonder how the author would define "feature" and why he believes that real companies don't simply make features.

As far as I can tell, there are companies out there with small feature-like products that are making consistent profits... and there are plenty of companies with massive complex products that haven't got a clue how to make money. I don't think you can choose to call something a company or not based solely on the complexity of what its main product/service.
