I guess the goal should not be to &#x27;not fear&#x27; but to win over the competition by not allowing fear of the bigger size of the competitor.<p>There can be two pronged strategy-<p>* how is my small size an advantage - how can I maximise that advantage? Can i move fast, can i create specialised features which bigger competitor can not focus on and can those specialised features be of high margin? ex- Mac versus Windows in early 2000. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=17695388" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=17695388</a><p>* what can the competitor not do, because of the big size? Is doing some of those things bringing me enough advantage to pursue them.
