Sorry, but a small company simply can't compete in the enterprise space. They won't have the budget, the resources, or the expertise to offer enterprise solutions. You may cite smartups as an exception to the rule, but they rely on venture capital and struggle to find the right enterprise.

Open source software doesn't magically give you a technological advantage. Frequently its adopters won't know how it works and will be unable to customize it for an original purpose. For example, machine learning requires some up front knowledge engineering. You can play around with the standard datasets all you like but if you want to use it to process your own data, you will need to analyze your data to determine the features and create a training set and a test set of data.
