Easy, don't focus on them. Get yourself happy customers and solve problems your customers have. Be the competitor that offers exceptional customer service and goes the extra mile.

There is a lot of room in these markets.

Yup, the coffee market is so unsaturated Starbucks even ends up opening cafes across the street from other Starbucks. If coffee can handle this level of competition, being a complete commodity, surely tech startups have much room to grow.

Thanks for that example. Good reminder there's always room to grow.

Thanks for your message. I have to periodically get my mind out of this competition-obsessed frame and instead work on improving my product offering. The stress of competition is a part of life but I have to learn how to take it in my stride.
