Yeah, but they're also never going to pay for it (or not anything close to this price) in a personal capacity. So give it away free like for current students (would I get away with an alumni^ address I wondered) and generate hype, Youtube content, a pipeline of prospective employees who encourage their employer to adopt it; raving at work about how good it is for their hobby projects and would solve all the problems their having, etc. ^that's the genitive singular, lest you think it erroneously plural ;)
