as a former yc data integration startup employee... this is a very very very challenging business. i'd consider a different business if i were you. being "x but open source" isn't all it is cracked up to be. i dont really care enough to elaborate but please do feel free to tell me if i am wrong in five years.

Only a data engineer here, but I agree. If I’m understanding right, your competitors are more likely Fivetran/Airbyte, and Snowflake/Databricks. There’s lots of money and marketing you’ll need to overcome. Mage reminds me of the Zero ETL idea; which seems to be getting popular again with companies like Trino.
