I am a strong believer that open source infrastructure companies are extremely difficult to make work. Once you get enough market share and exposure AWS will just take your open source software and wrap their own service. Examples include MongoDB and Elasticsearch, though both went public and are successful. I just wonder as a purely business move if open source infrastructure software is really the way to go.
