OP HERE, continuing post in comment due to character limit. I see several advantage and disadvantages both of our startups have. first they might be pressured to focus on profitablity since they are funded, I don't. they have side projects, offering courses on growth, and doing case studies, which I think are being purposed to be potential loss leaders to drive the main business. however the confusing part to me is that they are already monetizing for these side projects, which leads me to conclude that perhaps their investors are getting impatient and are pressuring them for returns already? which means that they are vulnerable to anyone that can offer the same product for free can starve them to death with a runway siege. and it will be hard for them to raise additional funding because if current investors aren't seeing good returns, how will additional investors buy in? they are also doing a lot of inbound marketing, not yet outbound, means they have no sales team yet, first mover advantage to reach all the potential customers in the market is not yet capitalized. plus there is always room in other markets on the globe, and I do have the language capability and freedom, and if I were to launch to a market like china for example They have SDK for android, ios, and maintain libraries in js and python, where I am only doing python and utilizing react(native). Which means I will have smaller potential clientele, but it also means I can iterate much faster. I do believe both of our startups have numerous similar and different challenges to overcome. I do have a couple ideas on how I could execute better to one day lead the market, if not then at least forever be a barrier to them in their journey to capture the total addressable market. Hey, nothing to lose for me right.
