FAQ
What do investors mean by 'moat'?
Sustainable competitive advantage — what prevents well-funded competitors from replicating your success. Patents are one form; proprietary data, network effects, and switching costs are others.
Do I need patents to have a moat?
No. Strong moats often combine multiple protection layers. Trade secrets can be more valuable than patents for software. FITTIN helps you find your strongest layer.
