So, i nearly finished my Software-Prototype in the AEC-Management sector, found a Co-Founder and want to go online, to get feedback and talk to potential customers about my idea.
Unfourtunately i just found out that the government is planning to launch a similar software in 2025 and it got funded with 6 Mio. €. Also, since it is the government, they have lots of good connection to the right people and groups, that i don’t have.
Is it worth to pursui my business idea at that point, after spending a lot of time in building a prototype, website and even a business plan? Right now it feels to me as if i have no chance to win a race to market against the government.
Has anyone of you been in a similar situation and could give me some tips on how to handle this?
Have you ever seen the government do anything efficiently? Have you ever been to the RMV? You could probably build a better working product and sell it TO the government.
