Re:Why are you still building consumer apps? Enterprise pays... by tn13 on Monday December 16, 2013 @05:56PM (#6918425)
The enterprise product we built cost us close to $1m in building it and around 300k per year for maintenance. [The engineering costs].

Each sale was supposed to bring in around $50k for a two yearly contract. A dedicated team of 25 people could barely make 20 sales per year. Bringing around $1m in revenue.

Remember the salaries of these 25 people ended up being the biggest cost component which made the entire business into a loss making proposition.
