I read about these brothers and found their strategy to be interesting:
1. Copy idea from existing high-growth company
2. Implement in a different country
3. Sell idea back to originator
This just proves how important local market knowledge and execution is. It also proves that you do not need to be the first mover to be successful.
What do you think about their strategy?
"Mention the Samwer name at an internet conference from LeWeb in Paris to Munich's DLD, and there's a good chance you'll hear them dismissed as "clone" kings, who simply copy existing high-growth web companies, from Airbnb to Pinterest -- often selling the businesses back to the people who originated the idea."
