You also have to take a look at how this problem is currently being solved.The biggest mistake is when startups say we have no competitors. Well congratulations! You probably don’t have a business. If nobody's trying to solve this problem right now, it's not a problem.Right,it can be solved in different ways, it doesn't necessarily have to be solved exactly the same way you're doing it. You have to prove that your way is actually innovation and have a big advantage there.Like I said no competitors,no problem no market,no business. Don’t make this mistake.
