Back in the day I approached Sandstorm by email and asked if they could provide an Enterprise/Server edition of Sandstorm (hosted apps with stable/customizable endpoints, authentication and stuff).
I directly communicated to them that we are ready to shell out something like $2,000 per license.
The answer by Kenton surprised me. He told they are aiming to get the consumer market first. Which is a bit odd, given the server is where the money is.
Enterprises of all kinds already have their hierarchies of customers. Moreover, they are in a constant need of a simple but highly efficient server platform (see Kubernetes of a future). It would be a much easier sell to them.
