I agree that competing in the data space can really be hard. I have worked with data (file systems, databases, etc.) for 40 years. Some of the products I worked on were successful (PartitionMagic, Drive Image) but others were not as impactful. Whenever you offer an alternative to a mature technology like database, it can be a real challenge. Your product is expected to do everything that the well-funded and long developed product can do, and more. Good luck on your venture.
