If price point for Citus cloud is a roadblock, you can easily set up Citus at your environment provided you have some server administration experience. I did the same while doing a PoC for the community edition and all it took was 3 minimal size servers, which would actually be around 20$ a month but can it be used till Series A, not sure, depends on the data. Also just a side note : The community edition is lacking some very important features like shard rebalance which is available in Enterprise edition to be fair.
