They had one large customer lined up. I didn't really follow what happened with them after I left but I don't think that customer was particularly happy and calls with this customer were fraught and somewhat terrifying. It certainly wasn't the case that this project was wildly profitable. Not sure if it will ever make money at all in fact. I have worked for profitable businesses who have behaved like this too and it's usually the case that they have some kind of inbuilt unfair advantage (legal, governmental, monopoly/size/clout, etc.) that compensated for sucking at tech.
