Natural defensive strategies for startups, agencies and enterprises

What they won’t tell you startups are up against, Startups face a myriad of challenges that are often not openly discussed. Here are some of the less talked-about obstacles they may encounter:

So that it can come at all so far that one can live those values listed below, one should find strategies for those situations which unfortunately still exist in this piggy world out there!

The dust-offs:

If you’re spot on, you’re staked out until they have all the vital information from you so they can copy you and then they hire a big company that has more money and time (manpower) to make your vision and idea a success. You don’t see a dime of it.

Natural Defense:

• Copyright away from hour zero and not a word to anyone about your invention until you patent it.
• Secrecy: Keep your ideas and developments secret as long as possible before you make them public or share them with others. Trust only close confidants you know well.
• Patenting: Protect your innovations and ideas early on with patents or other intellectual property rights. This makes it harder for others to copy your ideas.
• NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement): Use non-disclosure agreements when talking to potential investors or partners, if appropriate, to ensure they don’t misuse sensitive information.

Pigs:

If you’re golden, you’re suppressed and talked down to until they wear you down, while others of them have turned your bonanza into money. They thus prevent you from mega-success, everything slips through your fingers, and the scumbags celebrate the successes.

Natural defense:

• Report to the police, and if they are also contaminated, report to international courts.
• Strong contracts: Make sure you set clear and strong terms in business agreements, partnerships and contracts to protect your interests.
• Network: Build a strong network of supporters, mentors and advisors who support your vision and idea. They can help you overcome obstacles and keep you motivated.
• Strong ownership: Try to retain as much ownership as possible in your startup to maintain your decision-making power and prevent possible manipulation.

The lullers:

If you are golden, you will be lulled and manipulated until they distract you from your gold mine at the right moment. Thus, they can quietly lift the gold for themselves.

Natural defense:

• Always stay on the ball with your cause until success is there.
• Focus and discipline: Stay focused on your vision and goals. Don’t be easily seduced or distracted by others.
• Team with similar values: Build a team whose members share similar values and work together toward the big goal.
• Critical mind: Have a critical mind and ask critical questions when something seems strange or manipulative. Don’t be blind to possible attempts at manipulation.

The pushers out – the killers:

If you are spot on, you and maybe even your family will be threatened by an accident or directly by someone.

Natural defense:

• Immediately report to the police, and if they are also contaminated, report to international courts and arm yourself. Don’t be a fool.
• Safety: Keep your team and family safe. Implement security measures at your workplace and home.
• Community: Find support from other founders, entrepreneurs or the community to strengthen you against potential threats.
• Legal protection: Consult legal counsel and security experts to take steps that can protect you from potential threats.

Please note that these strategies are not a guarantee that you can completely prevent every negative scenario, but they can help reduce risk and increase your chances of dealing with challenges. For serious threats or legal issues, it is always advisable to seek professional help from attorneys or other experts.
