Not to denounce their work but the website and app looks pretty terrible. I would imagine they would have enough funds to hire good developers after selling their house and cars. The article also talks about a funding from a Russian investor.

I was really interested in knowing how and where did they actually spend money. I dug further:

- They have 100-500 installs on app store.

- A good amount of their twitter followers are spam with most of their tweets with keywords such as giveaways and contest.[2]

- Their play by play commentary is coming from performgroup.com. I would think this would be their highest cost.

- Their site is hosted on aws.

What could be the significant cost here?
