If it's hard to tell the difference, it'll be hard to sell the difference. (Cheesy rhyme intentional)

But seriously, you could probably do some research to work out your solution's strengths, relative to existing solutions.

When you know what it's strengths are, try to find people who want those strengths.

That's going into my quotes list. Rhymes, is short and gets an important point accross. Bravo.


I’m not sure how relevant it is. Dropbox entered into a market with around 10 competitors, and trounced them all. In general it’s a mistake to worry about the competition.


Comparisons to competition are just a way to map out the market, and where you may fit.
