There was a post recently on hackernews talking about how startups have an "innovation limit". That is, if you try to innovate too much, your scope grows beyond your reach. I think the idea applies here as well. Building everything yourself takes a lot of time. If you can position yourself to leverage the advancements of others, you can move much faster.
