>a professional sales org, marketing machine, etc. All this costs money. We have a competitor, a big VC-funded company. They have very aggressive marketing and lots of sales people. But it all comes at a price. They spend 75-80% of their revenue on sales and marketing. We don't and it lets us keep our prices 8-10 times lower. For a similar (although, a bit more lightweight) product! We beat their product hands down every time we directly compete with them. So my point is -- it's not all black and white. It is possible to survive on a market with big VC-funded companies.
