Ask HN: Startup could be killed with a single feature?

6 点作者 quotz超过 6 年前
Should I start a startup that could potentially be killed by a big corp if they implement the feature that my product is built on? Its a product based on a strong community around it, which is a plus, but still very risky.

I think big corp rarely killed a startup.<p>Some quotes from famous startup people:<p>“In a big company, you can do what all the other big companies are doing. But a startup can’t do what all the other startups do. I don’t think a lot of people realize this, even in startups. The average big company grows at about ten percent a year.<p>So if you’re running a big company and you do everything the way the average big company does it, you can expect to do as well as the average big company — that is, to grow about ten percent a year. The same thing will happen if you’re running a startup, of course. If you do everything the way the average startup does it, you should expect average performance.<p>The problem here is, average performance means that you’ll go out of business.”- Paul Graham<p>---<p>&quot;What makes disruption so devastating is the fact that, absent a crisis, it is almost impossible to avoid. Managers are paid to leverage their advantages, not destroy them; to increase margins, not obliterate them.&quot; - Naval Ravikant<p>---<p>Personally, I think if your business fits in a market design by someone else, you are “default dead”. Pepsi never catches Coke. Bing never catches Google. Google Pixel never catches iPhone. The real question is can you design a market that you can dominate. Ignore competition from big corp.

Jobs told the dropbox guys that their product was a feature... go figure.

Most startups could be killed with a single feature initially.<p>If you&#x27;re interested in working on it and have passion about it go for it.<p>Most big corps have lots of layers&#x2F;decision makers so chances are slim they would attack your feature before you have traction, users and a community built around it.

is there an additional thing that would make people stick around even if that other company built the feature?<p>Seeing a feature that can make a big difference to people is a great place to start, if you can plan a road map that will help you to grow your user base, is even better.

i&#x27;m going to quote Sam.<p>This doesn&#x27;t sound like a business, sounds like a feature.

How much would it cost to launch? How fast could you recoup your investment?
