been working on a b2b saas startup for 8 months in a boring, underserved industry full of sleeping giants (hospitality, specifically golf) that launch a chatbot who can answer FAQs in order for them to say they're AI native on earnings calls our first customer goes live in may, big milestone after my technical cofounder and i (plus our cracked designer) took this from 0 -> 1 in like 6mo once we figured out what we should actually build. not that i'm experiencing imposter syndrome - because as software veterans my cofounder and i (armed with beautiful designs) - have done an insane job architecting this codebase for the age of LLMs (after we go live i'll write a whole piece on our infra) but as we reach MVP, our approach seems sooo obvious. and all rich people play golf? and it's sooo under served. and tbh we do have an edge with our distribution (i'll expand on this in like 6 months after we get more traction so nobody steals our playbook teehee), but i'm soooo paranoid... how are there not like 10 teams armed with $3m+ of VC money to snap up equivalent talent to me + my cofounder to eat the lunch of these sleeping giants? it seems too good to be true that we're the only people taking this seriously. i can't find much online, everything i do find confirms our edge, what are the odds there are people in stealth doing the same thing or very similar?
