A startup should be treated like any other business. Almost every business imaginable has competition, and most manage to survive.
Building a product that appeals to 100% of a "target market" is impossible. Carve your niche, target a particular type of person, and start small.
Competition in your space is a really good thing: 1) as others have said, it validates your ideas viability, and 2) you don't need to spend so much time educating people about a new market and why they need your product.
