On that note, perhaps a start-up can buy a license and resell analytics on the back-end (probably against TOS however).
Right, that's a good point: internal disclosure. The NDA is very specific on a need-to-know basis. So if our methods are obviously put to use it means that they disclosed, if my thinking is correct?
The entire process certainly was valuable, even in just forcing us to take a good look at our business plan and just know that we really believe in ourselves.
Thanks, this makes sense. We're documenting everything we can think of.
We can't sue a company for making a product like ours, as I understand? While what we do is unique, you can't patent the idea.

I also believe the same, as we really know what we are doing better than them as it's been our total focus while this is a new project for them. We know they'll take market share but we are confident that we'll retain…
