Founders worry too much about highly funded competitors. Usually funding matters less than the founders' ability. In the short term, a highly funded competitor can hurt you by e.g. lowering prices. But if you survive long enough, it will ultimately become a test of ability.

"People want to put things in the cloud, so you have access. One of our biggest competitor is the paper binder at the office. But when you are not able to go in to work, what can you do?" Founder Andrew Schmitz spoke to @MatthewDKee about @getproceed 👂 tinyurl.com/proceed-app

Great distribution > great product. The first one takes care of the second. If you distribute a product and no one buys, you know you have an issue. If you build a great product that actually isn’t, you won’t know you’re wrong until the market tells you. You aren’t Steve Jobs.

Before jumping feet-first into a new idea, ask yourself: 🚦 Desirability: Do customers want it? 🚧 Feasibility: Can we build it? 💸 Viability: Does it make financial sense? + ⏳Adaptability: How does it fit into your current model? #innovation #testing

Too many innovators & entrepreneurs think if they just find the right idea everything else comes easy. They got it the wrong way around. 1) The idea is easy. 2) The search & iteration for a value prop & biz model is hard. 3) Execution & scaling is where winners are decided.

Your key job as an innovator/entrepreneur is first to reduce the risk & uncertainty of your great idea. Only when you’ve done that, your task is to build (& ultimately scale) something!
