aah ... I think you should holding off throwing around labels like maturity, that's a bad way of making arguments.
Of course you're using a third party for branding/funding, however, as I mentioned in my original comment, corporations exist to reduce the transaction costs of collaborating and distributing - costs which are greatly reduced with widespread internet access.
This means you can have a 'virtual corporation', wherein you have much more freedom to decide your course of action.
In the end the customers is your boss - true, but you have much more say in what the product is (and this is good or bad, depending how skilled you are and your risk tolerance).
