Oh sure, no doubt. It makes sense to spend $10 a month on something if it saves you 10 hours of time and you can potentially make $10 million from it.

I was mostly just surprised at how quick the process was. Hedge funds are much more afraid of missing out on something than they are of paying a monthly fee to someone.

That might sound a bit silly (what business isn't afraid of missing out on something?), but that's definitely NOT the case in many other enterprise sales discussions.

I hope you were charging at least $499/month, if not go read everything patio11 has ever written on pricing.

Was that how much you were charging? One would naively assume that you could probably have charged a lot more given the amount at stake for the fund.
