But the phrase probably began with something like this:
If you plot the number of users of a new technology over time, they usually follow this kind of pattern. The peope that are first into the technology are known as "innovators" or "early adopters" and such in the jargon.

If you plot normal probability distribution on a graph, the shape looks similar to a bell. This is usually referred to as the Bell Curve. If someone is ahead of the curve, they're beating the odds or staying ahead of the game
To be ahead of the curve means you've anticipated the market or are ahead of everyone else.

The customer can’t reference each other when they are in different markets. Customer reference is a chain reaction affected usually by word of mouth. The market purpose must be to develop and shape something that is real and has a set of potential customers and a given set of products and services and allows the customers to reference each other when making buying decisions
Customers are caught in informational silos. A chain reaction occurs by word of mouth or advocacy that starts creating momentum. The designer or creator of the idea is ahead of the demand curve. Early adopters take a liking to the product and begin advocating their preferences (Mavens). A S-Curve starts to emerge and about 10 percent acceptance determines an inflection point where the product will advance toward dominance. Innovators develop something "Real" but Mavens bring the real product to market. The Mavens are the visionaries that give the company or inventor their first break into stardom. The perception is the innovators foresaw the demand curve materialize before it actual did.
