Obviously, you can learn from existing technology.
But in my experience, it's good to trust people when they tell you what their problems are, but don't trust what they think the solution is.
There's so many companies that look at the solution space that exists and then say, ah, I can do that somewhat better.
I can do that somewhat cheaper.
And the reality is, is that rarely are companies
impactful businesses built on doing something a little better, a little cheaper.
If you're not that different from those guys, it means they're going to have an easy time adapting from you, whatever you come up with, because you're not competing with what they have today.
You're competing with what they're going to have after they look at what you're doing and then cross implement it or learn from what you're doing.
That's the thing that a lot of startups miss.
They say, oh, look at this, like Oracle division doing this thing, the small side of Oracle.
I think I can do better than that service.
And I have to remind them, well, first of all, guys, let's say it takes you two years to build that.
You're not competing with what they have today.
You're competing with what they have in two years.
And then what you're really competing with is what they have in three years after they look at what you've built as you start to eat some of their customers.
And then they're going to build something in response.
So you got to kind of think two or three steps ahead with these things.
And if you've built something that's totally different, they're going to have a very hard time adapting to it.
Maybe one good way to look at it is it's a lot like bacterial infection.
If you build something that is the same shape as existing things, it's going to be a lot easier to get infected.
