Productization - The act of modifying something, such as a concept or a tool, to make it suitable as a commercial product.
Making big money requires productization. Sleek UI and interface that the end users see, plus marketing and selling.
Even when someone is the first with tech and prioritization, it does not mean they succeed in the long term after the field matures. I don't have high hopes for Slack in 5-10 years. Neither do I see Dropbox or Netflix justifying current valuations in the same time period.
