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.
THREE disciplines that a company could seek to achieve:
๐ Best #Price - Operational excellence
๐ Best #Product - Product leadership
๐ Best Overall Solution - Customer intimacy

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 isnโt, you wonโt know youโre wrong until the market tells you. You arenโt Steve Jobs.
