A first of its kind SaaS/Software has launched in the B2B space. They are 12 months old and are doing quite well.

I would be the 2nd in the world to launch the same business model.

However, I want to make sure I execute properly as I have this fear I won't do as well if they're already doing so well with first mover advantage.

At the same time, I am confident too because I see other SaaS companies out there that are carbon copies of each other (Eg. for email there's MailCheat(Chimp), ConvertKit, GetResponse, etc)

There are 100K-500K potential clients in the specific niche they're targeting, they already have 1K clients. The software relies on network effects, so the more people that join.. the stronger/better the experience is on the platform

Any advice on doing well as the 2nd player in the market? (eg. better offer/price, better features, etc)
