The most feared competitor is one that focuses on improving their own business rather than worrying about you.

Founders often assume their competitors are winning based on external signs like fundraising announcements, but they should focus on whether their customers are satisfied and engaged.

If you have insider information about a competitor that the founder doesn't know, it's generally advisable to keep that information to yourself to avoid complications.
