If I were an AI startup today, I’d be scrambling to update and refresh my brand positioning—because the AI bubble is looming.
Remember the dot-com crash of 1999-2000? Many companies evaporated because there was no real business behind the idea, just hype.
The same thing is happening now with AI. We’re seeing a flood of startups entering the space, and while it’s easier than ever to launch a SaaS company, it’s also harder than ever to stand out.
Every market is intensely competitive, and without a clear strategy, many of these companies will disappear before they even have a chance to make an impact.
So, why is brand positioning so critical right now?
For one, it’s no longer enough to just rely on technology. You can’t win simply by building a product that works. There are too many competitors offering the same features, benefits, and promises.
If you’re an AI entrepreneur, you have to ask yourself: What makes us different? Why should anyone choose our product over the next one? If you don’t have a solid answer to those questions, you’re in trouble.
Brand positioning is about more than just flashy taglines or logos; it’s about finding a way to show how your product is different, better, or unique. It’s about creating a clear space in the minds of your target audience where they know why your solution matters more than any other.
In a sea of AI startups all claiming to be the next big thing, the companies that will survive are those that have mastered the art of positioning.
If your product looks like every other offering on the market, you’re going to fall into the same trap many startups do: you’re just another option, and eventually, people will overlook you. Your product becomes the equivalent of vanilla ice cream—fine, but forgettable.
The SaaS world moves fast, and if you’re not working on positioning your product right now, you’re going to be left behind.
So, if you’re an AI entrepreneur and think technology alone will win the battle, it’s time to open your eyes. You need to focus on how you’re going to stand out, how you’re going to survive, and how you’re going to thrive in this saturated market. Brand positioning isn’t just a box to check—it’s your lifeline.
Now is the moment to dig deep, assess your market, and craft brand positioning that tells your audience why your product matters. Because in this competitive landscape, differentiation isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s a must.
