Summary from the TLDR Product newsletter

Modelbusters are companies that defy forecasts by either revealing far larger TAMs than expected or launching new products that unlock major adjacencies. They succeed by building “what” products over “how” products, pulling in customers through love and retention, leveraging network effects, and compounding growth far beyond financial models.
