Everything there is to know about startup competition.
- tmetzner 13y agoVery easy to lose sight of this, great reminder! "...most startups are run by complete amateurs (remember the first company you started?), tackling a space they don’t understand..." I always remind folks that if you're really doing something awesome then competition is inevitable, and in fact serves as validation that you are onto something.
- grey-area 13y agoIt's a shame stories like this fall off the front page so quickly. I particularly liked this part: Two of the beat down stories involve competitors looking less strong over time. This “put yourself out of business” impulse is strong. I can’t stress this enough. If you insist on competing then use the “don’t go out of business” tactic. This tactic has a 99% effectiveness rating.
