Startup Confidence 78. A promising opportunity in a growing but competitive market, contingent on a defensible wedge.
Startup Confidence reflects how strongly the available market evidence supports the venture thesis. It is not a measurement of achieved product-market fit.
The market evidence shows a growing category and two well-funded incumbents. The inference from that evidence is that a narrow, CRM-native wedge is the only lane the incumbents leave open. Whether reps will actually switch and pay is still an assumption, and only real buyers can settle it. So run the wedge as one narrow test: 15 design-partner reps, a single integration, real pricing. If they switch and pay, you have direct evidence exactly where Gong and Chorus are weakest. If they do not, you have saved a year of building. Either way you will know in weeks, not quarters, and you will know it before writing production code.
