Competitive landscape, just need to be aware of what they're doing, but not really focusing on them. There are probably at least 10-30 competitors doing something similar and different stages of venture backed.
Same idea. Probably 5 applicable accelerators, ~100-500 angel investors, ~50-100 seed stage investors. Going through accelerator interviews. Ignoring all investors until after I get more paying users. I haven't gone through raising before, but https://www.lore.vc/ has been a nice resource. Setting up the auction environment for the best fundraising market dynamics.

what about the landscape and investors?

Agree. This is table-stakes stuff for a solo founder.
