Just to have an area in which to develop, a number of powerful servers, is a pretty large cost, let alone the actual work being done; UReddit runs on a single Linode, this requires at least 4-5 powerful servers. (Note that our fundraising budget is not for ongoing costs such as renting servers, but for setting up a development environment and recruiting some help, on a contractor basis, for the development work.) We did try to be reasonable with the projected costs and even lowball estimates when we could.
