** Too crowded market
I found 32 companies with stated ambitions of a small launch vehicle.
See the full list with links in this Google spreadsheet (please comment in
the document any error or missing companies)

Thanks for sharing your list, it is interesting to see them all in one place.
I did notice that you have Interorbital in the list twice, line 7 and
20, which is roughly twice more than is warranted. Garvey, line 19,
was bought out or incorporated into Vector, line 33, it no longer
exists as an independent entity.
There are also perhaps a half a dozen other companies operating in
this field in some variation of "stealth mode". Relativity Space, for
example.
And if you're going to have Copenhagen Suborbitals in there you should
also add CS founder Peter Madsen's new venture RML Space Lab,
http://rml.space/ . I am a fan of both and visited them when I was in
Copenhagen earlier this year, but I don't think they are really
competitors in orbital launch.
