I would wager that the chances of two separate startups producing detrimentally similar websites is negligible, unless you are working on a totally unoriginal me-too type site (and even then...).

[where 'detrimentally similar' is defined as 'so similar that the market can only support one of the two, assuming people actually want it']

It used to be fairly uncommon, but if the number of people starting startups increases 10x or 100x as I've theorized it will, overlaps will start to be more of a problem.
