Dossier
The nearest thing to a direct competitor for the Catapult thesis: they figured out the same wedge — the buddy trip — and got there early. Small team, limited capital, no defensible IP. This is the one to outrun, not outspend.

Lane they own
Group play, buddy trips, live games and leaderboards. Aimed squarely at the trip crowd.
Our opening
Thin on money settlement and rules adjudication. No IP position.
Attack plan
- 01Out-ship them. Every quarter they don't ship settlement, we widen the gap.
- 02Lock the IP they never filed: dual-entry verification and the settlement ledger.
- 03Own the trip organiser persona with white-glove onboarding for the first 500 trips.
