asap please, case study:
You are a software developer and marketing savvy that works in a software company. One day you meet John, a gentleman that mentions that he is willing to invest in a software company but lacks the vision.
Talking about business models, he mentions how he was thinking of having a classic software developing company where you develop websites and apps for customers. He also feels that this part of the market is overloaded and there is too much competition in the field.

b) Differentiation and how would you highlight it
c) Value proposition
3) What is your competitive edge: Technology ? product advantage? strong PR to reach keys market players? strong customer support?
