Product CEO only works for companies where the product sells itself, which in my experience is only a small fraction of companies



If the product doesn’t sell itself, then the founders failed to make something people want. If sales lead the company instead of product, then market-making becomes the company’s actual product.


You are getting confused by product led growth. It's a popular tech business model but most enterprise software doesn't work that way.
