I don't gave proof but I would say that most successful startups are copies of other startups. A unique idea is so much harder to execute in both money and effort so coping an ongoing business and making it better is the way to go.

A successful business is mainly about managing resources and people. The idea is secondary.

I would bet on a successful team over an idea any time.
