Wait, this literally happened to me - direct competitor CEO offered me a job, the asked if I could help fulfill their west coast orders of over +6,000. I said, “sure we can do that.”
Haven’t heard from them since. I wonder if it was to make me panic - it made me laugh.
Just solve a problem better than any existing solutions out there. What’s a problem you have? How painful is it? Do other people have it? Validate that, then solve it.
