4 MARKET TYPES
Existing Market

Clone Market
- Competitors exist
- Customers want and need better performance
- Technology is usually the driving factor
- The positioning is driven by the product and how much value customers place on its features

- There is no “chasm” that you need to fill. The chasm is the gap between early adopters and mainstream customers in a market
Existing Market
Advantage of Existing Market

customers and their preferences are unknown and direct competitors are nonexistent
New Market
- Customers do not exist in the present, so revenue generation takes years
- Market size is zero
- Customers need to be made aware of their needs
- You must consider what factors can you create that has never been offered
- The chasm is biggest here because you will only be selling to the very early adopters
