Title: Here is where we are:<p>We have a valid product, paying customers, Currently $50K MRR and we are growing.<p>We have competitors, they are bigger, got huge investment rounds (we only got small seed round from friends), yet we have a better product. Much better!<p>How do I know? Customers, customers who left them, told us clear and simple. This product is far beyond what we have had with A and B.<p>Now, A and B are strong with PR, most of it are exaggerations (typical to PR), one even get to post almost every week at HN&#x27;s front page.<p>To really really beat them, we will need to inject some cash and start the PR channels, conference attending and spend a lot of time in marketing. I hate doing that. I am happy to develop the product. Very happy to meet customers and present the product, and strongly convinced the world deserve to know about our product.<p>Open sourcing will make the product better, will make it well known and might even speed up our growth.<p>I will be happy to see companies that started as closed source, then went open source, and succeeded.<p>Got some examples?
