Is there anything you would've done differently during that campaign?

Did the money come from the companies' tech budgets?

Was it a one lump sum pre-payment or periodic payments? Were there any strings like deliverables attached?

Hope this is not too much to ask, I'm really interested in the process.

I am developing something almost completely the opposite -- a website platform designed only for small-scale deployments by individuals and small communities, with purposeful mechanisms to limit/control growth, and for now deliberately without any finances, fregan.

Recently I have been coming to terms with the idea that I may get a lot further if I attract outside help, but currently I don't have much to pay with, and I've not made it easy for someone to just jump in and start contributing.

I am learning a lot from your answers.
