Thanks! Over the years I've seen several companies raise VC money for the personal CRM idea and fail. In a way, I'm glad they didn't raise outside capital and are able to sustain themselves while building something that they are clearly passionate about.

Author of Chandler here. We are able to sustain the server costs, but we have full time jobs "on the side" because it's not sustainable. I don't know if it's ever will. Don't care :-) Raising capital would make this project a full time job, and put tremendous pressure on having to generate revenues. We don't want this pressure at all. We want to provide a nice and useful software because we are geeks and we want to do something good. I know it sounds naive and cliché but it's true. And if the project buys us a new computer from time to time, that's all that matters.
