Once you've found product-market fit, what prevents a competitor with better tooling from copying you and out-competing?

Once you've found product-market fit, what prevents a competitor with better tooling from copying you and out-competing?
- pjlegato 3y agoIndeed; this is the bulk of AWS / Azure / Google Cloud's business model, the so called "kill zone" adjacent to their infrastructure offerings. They let startups conduct the risky, expensive R&D to find product-market fit, then step in with massively more operational resources to clone whatever worked, only with massively more resources on developing better tooling.
- james-revisoai 3y agoAny more links to this / discussion on this? Would love some talks covering where the adjacent areas are to the cloud offerings - are you thinking at AI inference startups or more dev tooling? The oddest trend I have noticed (may be selection bias) is how many people build dev tools these days... to the point even non-devs are starting to talk about their no-code builder startups... it's getting crazy.
