A competitor slide is your opportunity to shine as a founder
“We don’t have competitors,” some founders say. Or they might downplay how big a threat their competition is, assuming that talking about competition at all will ruin the magic spell they’re trying to cast over investors. But talking about competition won’t ruin the magic you’re trying to cast. After all, nobody thinks that you’re starting a company in a vacuum.
