It's common for a startup to be confused initially with some category of lame predecessors. It seems to be harmless and may even be beneficial. It doesn't deter users, who see you're different, but keeps you off everyone else's radar screen.

@paulg any example on top of your mind that you can share?
I was thinking about how some people confuse Lambda School with coding bootcamps. Then I remembered how people similarly confused YC with startup incubators, and Dropbox with the many broken online backup things available then, and so on.

Without any context or deep understanding of what Lambda really does, the easiest way for people to conceptualize is a boot camp school especially the programs offered focused heavily on computer science and software engineering.
