Indie game is where product = "company".
Organic grows != "we just launch and see how users come to us"
Huge early funding rounds = outstanding team + understanding of market + previous successful exits + 10B TAM
- mrtksn 5y agoA healthy organic early growth implies product market fit, or at least some promising alignment. Unless it's technologically hard service, there's no moat that a well funded team can't replicate and surpass. Until they have sizeable operations, all startups are "company == product". They are pretty vulnerable of being copied.
- tlogan 5y agoThe company is more than “techology”. It also marketing, sales, regional, leadership, market size, etc. That can be (and it is) a big moat preventing a well founded startup to replicate. In short one needs to have something is hard to replicate - but that does not need to be technology.
- mrtksn 5y agoI know, the point is that at early stages there’s little of it. That’s when they copy you, just like that unless you have something else that’s hard to replicate.
