I meant more in terms of the quickest prototype I can launch; their mature product's version of this feature will be superior to my first creation. I do believe that over time I can compete and surpass them though.

I definitely resonate with this attitude, but I'm unsure how I can raise money from investors like this. And, IMO, raising funds is what will allow me to quit my day job, create a team, and really compete.
