I should probably have said "products" rather than "projects". There's a fair bit of extremely good engineering that goes on in the infrastructure side, but when it comes to consumer products, if one of the founders isn't explicitly sponsoring it it gets killed.
They get killed since ROI of putting more people on search or ads is almost always higher than ROI on the new projects, not because the founders doesn't like them.
