Biggest Red Flag in a Pitch: “We have no competition.” Founders love saying this to sound unique. But to an investor, it screams one thing → “This founder hasn’t done their homework.” ❌ Here’s the truth: 👉 Every product has competition. • Direct competitors (same product). • Indirect competitors (the old way people solve the problem). • Even “doing nothing” is competition. Example: If you’re building a food delivery app → Your competition isn’t just Zomato & Swiggy… It’s also the kirana store next door, mom’s cooking at home, and even people choosing to eat Maggi instead. 📌 Lesson for founders: Investors don’t expect “no competition.” They expect you to know the competitive landscape inside-out → who you’re up against, and why you’ll win. Say “no competition” = 🚩 Red flag. Show deep understanding of competition = ✅ Investor confidence. 💬 Comment “REAL” if you’ve seen this mistake before. 👉 Follow @dreamwithsachin for more blunt founder truths. #dreamwithsachin
