Most people think you compete with giants. Smart companies figure out how to complement them. Everyone loves the David vs Goliath story. Small startup takes on industry giant and wins through scrappy determination. That's Hollywood nonsense. The real world works differently. Verizon has infrastructure we could never build. Cell towers, fiber networks, regulatory relationships that took decades to establish. We have something they don't. Speed. While they're running ideas through committees and approval processes, we're already testing solutions in the field. While they're analyzing market research, we're talking directly to customers in rural communities. When a new technology becomes available, we can integrate it in weeks. They need months to navigate internal processes. When a customer has a problem, we can implement a fix the same day. They need to file tickets through multiple departments. The giants gave us the infrastructure to reach rural America. Being small lets us serve rural America the way it deserves to be served. Both sides win. But most importantly, rural customers win. Stop trying to beat the giants. Start figuring out what you can do that they can't.
How to compete with giants: complement, don't compete

"We need to break up Big Tech!" The assumption: once a business gets big enough, it becomes permanently entrenched. But 90% of Fortune 500 companies from 1955 have disappeared. Natural monopolies contain the seeds of their own destruction. The real threat isn't successful businesses. It's government barriers that prevent competitors from challenging them.

Google's breakthrough with the Willow quantum chip is a massive move that every leader should study. This isn't just a fascinating science story; it's an extreme example of operational discipline. You can't achieve exponential growth by relying on short-term fixes or hoping your existing infrastructure holds up. Google is preemptively addressing a future process bottleneck by investing heavily in specialized chips today, ensuring its automation capacity for years to come. As W. Edwards Deming insisted, quality and capacity must be built into the system from the start. They are deliberately choosing the hard, longer-term approach. They're delaying instant gratification for the profound future reward of guaranteed, scalable performance. Are you building your foundation for the company you have, or the company you want to be? This is the challenge you'll find in The Scalable Business Framework: https://lnkd.in/gsDHaYx3

Tech founders can learn a lot from traditional businesses. Think about it - traditional businesses never launched without sales and distribution at the core. They didn’t wait to “perfect the product” before finding customers. They built with the market, not away from it. That’s exactly where many tech founders miss it. You can have the best code, the smartest features, and still struggle… if nobody knows you exist. This is why distribution isn’t a “later” thing - it’s survival. 👉 Build it. 👉 Market it. 👉 Sell it. Do all three together. And if you’re a founder buried in the product, it might be time to bring someone in who understands growth. Because even the smartest product needs a path to market.

Most deep/climate tech founders lose €1M+ deals before the demo even starts. (Not because their tech is weak. Not because the pitch sucks.) But because they're explaining features while their buyers are defending beliefs that feel safer than change. The CFO is protecting their career. Your solution smells like collateral damage. Your CTO? They're saying no to looking stupid in 6 months. After 8 years closing deals from Amazon to consulting Mittelstand manufacturers, one pattern crystallizes: The founders cracking €10M+ stop selling technology. They start shifting beliefs. 7 buyer psychology tactics to dismantle objections and close deals. Let's break them down. 1/ Make waiting more expensive than acting. Most create urgency wrong. They hype, pressure, manufacture superficial deadlines. Your buyer sees through that. Natural urgency shows them what they're already losing. Calculate exact revenue lost per month. Show what competitors closed last quarter while they "gathered data." Name the specific date when their window to fix their costs of inaction closes. Hesitation isn't neutral, it's the costliest decision they'll make. 2/ Flip the risk equation, make changing safer than staying. Every buyer asks: "What if this fails?" Wrong question. The real question is: "What if we don't change and fail anyway?" - Share one customer rescue story (not a successful case study) - Offer pilots with clear exit ramps (and guarantees that actually mean something) - Use peer proof from their exact situation - Make data transparent, show failure rates, timelines When staying the course feels riskier than betting on you, buyers move. 3/ Speak to individual stakeholders - CTOs, CEOs, CFOs want different wins. Generic pitches get forwarded, to spam. CTOs want stability and technical credibility. CEOs want growth and competitive positioning. CFOs want ROI and budget predictability. I got reminded about this pitching to an enterprise buyer. He grilled me: "How does this help me justify the budget to finance?" I fumbled. Talked about volume. Turns out, he wanted an offer making his execs feel stupid saying no to. Use their exact language. Mirror their priorities. When every stakeholder sees their win, consensus builds, fast. 4/ Dismantle outdated narratives - name the myth, then light it up. "Too complex." "Uncertain ROI." "Too risky to change." These myths kill more deals than bad products. - Name the exact belief blocking the sale - Counter with ONE undeniable fact (not ten weak ones) - Add third-party validation, analyst reports, certifications - Reframe with analogy: "Cloud migration seemed risky once. Now it's standard." When you name objections before buyers do, you earn trust. — 3 more tactics in comments 👇 (Including why your best buyers never like your posts—and why that's actually a good sign.)

I asked 3 Managing Partners from leading PE firms how to build a moat around a tech company, here is what they said: With the rise of AI and exponentially increasing speed of development, competition for tech companies are at an all-time high. Warren Buffet always speaks about how he wants an investment with a moat around it, but are those days gone? Here is what the Managing Partners had to say: 💡Regulation AI is moving faster - regulation is not. Tim van Delden from HPE Growth examplified this with one of their portcos active within fintech, more specifically payment solutions. Their estimate was that any new competitor would have to spend at least three year jumping through legal and regulatory hoops. 🧠Data LLMs, compute and platform buidling are nearly commoditized. "Anyone can build a good platform these days" (thanks to my Swedish friends over at Lovable), which puts a high emphasis on data. Buying quality data sitting behind paywalls and getting proprietary data from your own users will give you an advantage over bootstrappers trying to overtake you. ⚙️Integrations Products that sit next to a customers core workflows are always at being replaced. By making sure you product is heavily integrated into workflows, it stops being just software and instead become critical infrastructure. What do you think, did they miss anything?

These are the frustrations that sneak up on even the most successful independent advisors. The common thread? Misalignment. The right model or partner can empower growth. The wrong one will quietly erode it. If you’re feeling the cracks—even if things are “good enough”—this is required reading. 👇 https://hubs.ly/Q03PjpSM0

Just like any other business, launching a viable tech business requires a lot of research, ground work and heavy network. But not as a start and not always. And the beauty of all these is that you do not require a lot of capital at first. Build something from what you have at hand and start assessing its market value and traction. Take the first few months assessing this. Waiting to have everything in order first to work so that you can launch your idea is the worst you can do as a young man who wants to become wealth and change the world. Always learn from those who finally made it in business. Read and research about them or their business life. One common thing that will crop up will be that they started from somewhere before becoming that huge. Read: https://lnkd.in/drmyHDbY
That’s the real edge small players have, speed and closeness to the customer. Giants build the roads but the nimble ones know how to drive on them faster.
