I hate to be negative about this, but it sounds like you've had a successful product for 2 years. Why are you still working on it if you're sacrificing time, sleep, and a social life to 'break even'? At some point (and I would think well before 400,000 users), why didn't you go out, seek $1.25m for yourself, and win your market over with a better quality product? I do think what is happening is wrong, but why are you so intent on fighting this if you've spent 2 years just to be breaking even, even with a half million users?

Not all projects are blockbuster profit projects, some people do things as a labor of love for the joy of doing them. Sometimes great things are made that way. Seeking out $1.25M is not the sort of thing that has any draw for a lot of people, and that's OK.

  Exactly. I entertained the idea of fundraising briefly, but realized that it didn't really give me any sort of satisfaction and wasn't something I was very good at. I like to write code, I like to build things, I like interacting with my users and turning their suggestions into reality.
