Somebody bigger than you stomping on your toes is always a possibility. This is somewhat mitigated by the fact that VCs are looking for super huge 1000x growth possibilities. If your market will only bear a modest level of growth and possibility, most likely nobody will be interested in investing millions to squash you.

I used to be a lot more bullish about this before 2020's interest rate drop and subsequent declining bond yields, and the insane injection of capital into the markets. But now, I'm not so sure. Investors are reaching quite a bit further than I originally had expected in order to seek yield.
