Harsh but absolutely true. What's unique is execution, timing, and persistence. My first startup failed because I was obsessed with my "revolutionary" idea, only to discover three competitors were already funded. My second succeeded because we executed better on a well-known problem. The most successful founders I know don't chase uniqueness - they chase problems worth solving. They're aware of competitors but aren't paralyzed by them. Your idea being done before isn't a death sentence; it's validation that there's a market. The graveyard of startups is filled with "unique" ideas nobody wanted, not good ideas that had competition. Execution eats uniqueness for breakfast.

The startup graveyard is full of great ideas. What’s missing? Relentless, boring, uncomfortable execution. Getting feedback that hurts. Iterating in public. Ideas are free. Execution is rare. Best builders know the difference.

🚀 Ideas are everywhere, but execution is everything. A unique product can be cloned in days. But a unique execution strategy — built on deep user insight, relentless iteration, and a smart distribution channel — is nearly impossible to copy. Anyone

"We're building in stealth mode" = Founder for "I'm terrified someone will steal my genius idea" But trust me, here's the brutal truth: Your idea isn't as unique as you think.. and execution >>> ideas So, What's the REAL cost of building in stealth?
