It's always great to see new companies trying to improve on this problem. I'm the CEO of FusionAuth and we've been working on our product for 6 years now. I can attest to the complexity and challenges that exist in this industry. Our belief is that no one should be building auth anymore.
You should connect with Mike over at Gluu. He's a great guy and very supportive of the industry as a whole. I'm also happy to connect with you all as well.
Steer clear of Auth0, OneLogin and the others. They don't play fair and I'm positive you'll be receiving your first cease and desist letters in the coming weeks. We have stacks of them and their claims are always total BS. But you don't want to go to battle with a company that has $300M in the bank.
You've done great stuff with FusionAuth! I ended up using ORY [0] at my startup as we had slightly different auth needs, but FusionAuth was a top contender.
It's strange to me that Auth0 has so much market dominance. Are they a case of VCs subsidizing a subpar product, combined with aggressive (and bordering on false) marketing, or do they really have some unique product? Their pricing seems ridiculous to me; I can't imagine someone doing an analysis between Auth0 and alternatives, and choosing Auth0.
But seeing Atlassian switch to them made me think I may be missing something... It would be interesting to hear your analysis of why Auth0 is so prevalent!

Congrats on the launch!
