They are going after the enterprise market.

There are two solid tells:

1> Raising $11M+ led by AH has a lot to do with giving CTOs some assurance about Meteor's commitment level. One can draw a parallel with Cloudera and how it gave Hadoop legitimacy with Enterprise customers.

2> The same enterprise CTOs identify strongly with Rod Johnson (Spring founder) who is on the Meteor board. He's someone who understands the Java enterprise space intimately and knows how to disrupt it (given his SpringSource exploits).

I also don't think the Github / Asana / Meteor connections are incidental. It's being positioned as a whole new way to execute on tech projects within the Enterprise IMO.
