I work for a startup now valued at around a quarter of a billion dollars that's negotiating enormous deals with some of the largest providers out there... and our entire development team can fit around a dinner table. In fact, we have significantly more products than we have programmers! Our new CTO, who previously worked at a much larger company, was utterly shocked when he found that our massive product lineup was developed by such a small team. There's also a huge benefit we gain from using existing open-source solutions whenever possible--if you avoid NIH syndrome and stop trying to reinvent the wheel, you can regain a huge amount of productivity.
