It's almost never the technology that makes a company, it's the market.

Only a small group of tech startups need to care about 'defebsibility'. If they didn't then patents would actually be useful in the software world.

The initial software built that addresses the problem is always easy to reproduce for nearly all tech startups. It's all of the supporting systems, marketing, lessons learned from putting it into production, etc, etc that make any company difficult to duplicate.

I wish building startups was only about the technology and defending it.
