The game of Risk is a good analogy for startups:

- the goal is to win the world/market
- to be in the game, you must hold space
- holding space is the only way to accrue strength
- can only attack adjacent space
- if you attack too fast, you're spread thin and can lose space

That's a fascinating analogy! Startups indeed often face similar challenges and dynamics to those in a game of Risk. It's all about strategic expansion, maintaining a strong position, and knowing when to advance cautiously.
