Problem with getting your stuff up there with the big boys is waiting for lift capacity to be available. From what I read it's 10x cheaper than using USA or European launch capability, not 10 x dearer.

"The Electron would launch satellites for about $7.3 million, less than a tenth of the cost of other companies."

125kg to 400 km sun synchronous orbit.
25kg out to 800 km
