300k funding for 8 developers is less than a year of runway at $40,000 per year and with no expenses (or income). That&#x27;s not very much and they&#x27;re probably a disproportionate amount on SEO&#x2F;marketing rather than product which is why you heard about them after a little basic research.<p>The difference is perhaps in their commitment to execution, i.e. it&#x27;s a company with working code for some definition of &quot;working&quot; as opposed to sitting on the fence worrying about competition. Therein lies the critical question, &quot;Does it matter that there&#x27;s competition?&quot;<p>Good luck.
