If the business doesn't have a need for high growth (which it perhaps doesn't if 250k moves the needle), why not consider more sweat-equity?

We decided not to take angel investment, took longer to build a small business, and gave equity to more founders.

We're very proud of our profitable centicorn (one hundredth the size of a unicorn).

I agree. But I'm on WP and the sales are not slowing down.I need to build out offWP to a web app. Keep the WP version running while standing up the web app build. But the engineers want $12,500 for 100 hours/sprint for both. I get a designer + Engineer. I'm thinking just pay enough to get to a web app with maybe 2 sprints $12,500 X 2 = $25k. Start making sales and then use the sales to keep paying if needed to increase sales / expand add new features from customer feedback.
