How important is being original for a Startup
Sunday, January 13th, 2008
Lately, I find myself asking why would anyone want to duplicate, copy, or imitate an existing startup; to form their own startup. So far, I think it could be summarized as just one reason:
Easy Money.
Easy money, or easy success, or easy “something”. Due to world segmentation, one spectacular original idea might not reach every part of the world simultaneously. Besides, there’s always the language barrier. So present the same idea, service, or product localized, and you have considerable hopes of achieving the same success in your location, city, country, etc., right?
