1) Provide very high quality education because we can afford to hire full-time Teachers, instead of crowd-sourcing the curriculum

2) Be profitable, so we can stay in business and continue to grow the service, which benefits our Members

Also, I'd like to toss in my obligatory "Awesome job with the design!" comment.

I agree, it's good that you guys are charging from day 1
