Yesterday my investor decided to fund a direct competitor to my company. Solving the same problem, for the same target market, similar looking solution, slightly different approach. I sense a bit of competitive spirit in the near future. I've already ramped up the schmoozing to get the investors to like us more at a personal level. I guess it's no big deal. Looking forward to leaving Europe for the next round anyway. With a few exceptions, the higher level VC's here are some of the worst people I've ever met. They literally hate technology.
