The chart is based on relative percentage, not absolute counts. So it's useless - if more gardeners look for jobs on Indeed.com then the engineer/developer/etc lines in this chart drop off. The chart doesn't mean anything in isolation.

"Is it possible to compete against a gigantic company on a niche product?" Yup, this is actually the only way to compete when you're small :)

Your knowledge of and passion for the science content is your biggest advantage. Leverage that into building an outstanding product.

Your large university connection is also a great advantage. Keep expanding there, get them to endorse you and then grow to more university labs.

Build the business at your own rate. Your chances of success increase with the time you put into it. This could become a nice small business, augmenting your current income, as you work on it part time.
