i will not promote · A big competitor takes over

Over the past 2 months, I was working on building a startup, the MVP was a week away and suddenly enters Google with literally the same thing. Like every single feature I had in the MVP that I thought was unique and useful to the user, Google's releast had it. This was one of the first ideas where I had 100% conviction and I think it's a lot of validation that Google built something I was thinking about. Maybe my problem identification and solution are on the right track. I have 6+ years of experience in the startup space, working at 4+ startups backed by YC and a16z. I was hell bent on an idea and now I want to help someone who already has one. Let me know if you're building something, would love to help.
