You're asking the wrong question. 'How to differentiate' matters less than 'why now?' Anyone I know that have raised rounds, and what got VCs excited wasn't their differences from competitors but their timing thesis. Why is this problem solvable now when it wasn't before? What market shifts or technological changes make this the right moment? If your competitors raised $1-2M, that's actually validation that there's VC interest in the space.

Also one lf them said that market is crowded. One of them said get some traction. That got me thinking. You validation point is right on the spot. Thanks.
