A good question to ask yourself (and this depends on what your startup does) at this time would be whether you should be raising money too.

I personally do not believe that a funded company can compete with you on the features and domain expertise that you have built over the last 5 years. Where they could beat you is in spending money to get to the market first. The fact that there was funding means that someone believes that the idea is large enough to risk millions and there may be a first to market advantage.

(I know you were here first 5 years back, but it is possible that you have not reached out to your entire market yet)
