Keep going - we (ridewithgps) are up against several players in the same market, two of which have significant funding and 10+ employees. I see those as disadvantages, personally, as our small 3 person group can run circles around most 20 person "bureaucracies" as far as implementation speed, direction changes and business decisions. I don't need to talk to an analyst who is developing requirement documents from some business person; we can go straight to implementation, try something out and see what happens. Of course, a single man shop is hard work once you realize how tricky marketing and UI stuff can be ontop of a solid implementation, but it is far from unheard of.

Or, of course you could give up and wish you would have tried harder when you look back a few years from now. I know which decision I'd regret more!
