Back in 2011, when Knowlarity raised some 40 million they went after some of our big customers and then started spreading the message that Ozonetel is gonna die soon. They don't have funds. This and that. well, more than a decade later, we are still going strong. Competitors will always spread rumours. Even when we are acquiring other companies :) "Ozonetel is going down" has been said for the last 15 years :) The thing is, we are not in it to fight competitors. We are in it because we want to disrupt the CX space. And we know that we are the best at it. We want to provide the best damn product to the businesses and help them achieve their goals. Period. That's the only goal.

Most founders are clueless on how to react when investors say no. Here is the best tactic: 1. Thank them for their time. 2. Ask them what led to a no. Don't expect clear feedback. 3. Do not bitch at them. You will never get a second chance. 4. Do not beg, just ask if it make sense to re-connect when you've grown more. 5. Move on to the next investor. I've raised $7M in 5 years.

Analyzing competitors is the first step in starting a business. Lumitech has analyzed over 100 competitors for our client's products. Here are how you can do it in 2 steps: 01/ Explore their website and social media: A: Check out their team size. If they have fewer than 5 members, they might be outsourcing, which can affect development costs. B: Look into the founders' backgrounds and experience. Their expertise often influences the product, showing they know their stuff. 02/ Review their Crunchbase profile: Visit Crunchbase for a detailed overview, including their fundraising potential and amounts raised. Pay attention to: - Type of funding - Announcement date - Total funds raised Of course, competitor analysis is a complex process, but you can start with these two steps and be closer to a successful project launch 😉

I help brands become the only obvious choice with one question. It kind of hurts when you hear it. And that's why most people aren't willing to ask it. "Who cares?" So you have a new AI feature. Who cares? You have 3 more features than a competitor. Who cares? You've been doing this for 50 years. Who cares? You raised $17M. Who cares? Your solution is "all-in-one"? Who cares? I may not ask that question verbatim, but I'm gonna find out the answer. When we do, you're 10x closer to standing out... and getting buyers to care. ✌️
