If self-funded then the question needs to be asked as to who provided the funds -- was it 50:50 or sweat equity (technical partner) and money (sales and marketing partner).

One thing that has become painfully clear for both of us is that we need professional sales and marketing help from someone who knows our domain inside and out. The problem is that we can no longer afford to bring such a person into the company until we dig ourselves out of this hole.
