How can talented people give their 110% every day to basically implement clones of successful US companies?

I was recently approached by a small VC that's hiring talent in France for a company with 2M€ in funding (pre-product). The premise was: no need to prove the business model, another company has proven it in the US and we're getting to market before they do in Europe. We're positive it's going to be a cash cow.



I thought execution beats idea? In which case, there's nothing wrong (morally or otherwise) with taking someone else's idea and executing on it.
