Biggest threat of software business

For decades, business software was the dream of entrepreneurs.
You find a niche. You build a SaaS product.
You get an average 70% margin.
You take a portion of your profits, hire smart engineers, and turn those investments into a barrier for competitors.
Now you’re protected and life is good…

To protect your business, build these new entry barriers:
A lovable product
with a loyal community,
a strong network effect,
and leveraging AI to build, test, analyze, and pivot or scale at lightning speed.
