- Facebook wasn't the first social network. People were connected, shared pictures, and had friends before.

- Amazon wasn't the first online store.

- AirBnB wasn't the first short term rental website

- Netflix wasn't the first online movie portal.

- Apple didn't make the first cell phone or even the first smart phone, or the first music player or the first home computer.

- Tesla didn't make the first electric car.

- etc.

Still, the one criticism that startup hear again and again is that "You are late - it's already there".
