Are we talking "startups" or "small businesses" here? I could see this blowing up startups for sure, but the conversation was about small businesses and I'm not sure I see the connection there. In my conception of the universe, you're not rolling out multiple hundreds of thousands of salary when you're hanging out your small-business shingle. You might grow to it, but that'll be over a long period of time.

Not quite. Plenty of startups pull 6-7 figures. We did 6 figure revenue on year 1 of our dev agency startup in past.

I assume you meant "plenty of small businesses". On what margin?
