I always advise against compilations, i.e. taking the "legs" of one prototype and the "arms" of another. This only proves the applicant's arrogance, but not the ability to work effectively. There is nothing ungodly in simply repeating a prototype letter for letter. In this way, the investor will not only be confident in the team's ability to strictly follow the formed plans, but also understand that the team is set up to quickly and effectively solve problems with their clear formulation.

There is no universal answer to the question - "how to determine the level of competition". The Internet has become a large repository of many business areas with completely different monetization schemes. Here you can rely only on your personal experience and the experience of experts.

Sometimes it seems that the company has no competitors at all. Let's take Dnevnik.ru, for example - do you know many other similar document management systems in Russia? But in this case, you need to look wider - their main competitor is hidden in non-digital form - these are ordinary school journals and reports. This is the problem that the company direct moving leads email listssolves - replacing one product with another.

There are always competitors: for trendy travel startups, these are offline travel agencies, for social networks, these are regular SMS messages and chats, for cloud storage systems, these are regular hard drives. This list can be continued indefinitely. And to avoid getting into an awkward situation, just start with a Google search.
