None of these are competitive advantages that are the opposite of the suggestions from the previous post about things that are not competitive advantages.
There are plenty of people who are passionate about their startups, working in a team of talented people, with customers, and insider information.
If a company went to a VC and used these competitive advantages, they'd be shot down in a second. Imagine this scenario:
Hi, I'm jargon. I am really super passionate about this idea and it's in my knowledge domain, because I have retail store. I'm a programmer with a retail store who has this software that I wrote to help me manage my retail store. I got 5 other retail stores on my block to buy it because it is so awesome. No other company is going to be able to compete with it, because all I care about is retail store software. Plus, we got Donald Trump to market it for us!
What VC in their right mind would ever invest in something like that?
