Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter

The protective moats that once shielded startups have vanished. Cloud infrastructure costs pennies, no-code tools eliminate technical barriers, and global talent pools make team-building accessible to anyone. Today we face instant competition the moment we show traction. Remember, difficult is defensible. Try your best to invest in building proprietary technology, creating unique distribution channels, or serving overlooked markets.
