In hindsight, there were definite revenue challenges -- customers would try the product, like it, but not sign purchase contracts very often. How much of that is me being grumpy and how much is normal growing pains I don't know, but customers definitely weren't jumping up and down throwing money at us. Had the company been earning even millions of dollars, it would have been a different story. We made like $40k the first full year of attempting to charge money for the product. That, to me, augurs towards a poor outcome and supports selling.
