我在研究个人财务市场时，最初只发现了几家显而易见的公司。经过更深入的挖掘，我发现了一长串我从未听说过的初创企业，包括一些推出了产品、获得了一些关注，但似乎又逐渐消失的公司。奇怪的是，这让我对这个领域的兴趣更浓厚，而不是减少。这让我思考，竞争本身并不是重要的信号。更有价值的问题是，为什么这么多尝试未能实现差异化。在评估一个想法时，这里的人们是关注“墓地”中的项目，还是主要关注当前的赢家？

I was researching the personal finance market and initially found only a few obvious companies.After digging more, I found a much longer tail of startups I’d never heard of, including products that launched, got some attention, and then seem to have faded out.Oddly, that made me more interested in the space, not less. It made me think that competition by itself isn’t the important signal. The more useful question is why so many attempts failed to differentiate.Do people here look at the “graveyard” when evaluating an idea, or mostly the current winners?
