I started a company doing email delivery 2 years before Sendgrid. Sendgrid appeared and raised tons of funding (we were based in France so it was not possible to raise money at that time).

I got really really scared. Fast forward, 2 years after:

- product becomes cheaper - product becomes more reliable - we were making tons of money - we had more customers

I studied microeconomic a little bit after this and this is exactly what they predict.

TL;DR; it's probably poor form but all participants of your market will be better out of it.

Definitely, there appears to be market validation. How big is that market? Perhaps big enough for one more...

And congrats on your venture!
