What qualifications or degrees do these people posses?

It's experience in the two examples I gave : I singlehandedly built my company : RAMM Science ( https://ramm.science ) And he singlehandedly built one of Europes largest online betting system backends (and scaled it to 800 transactions a second using Deep Learning, Kafka and a Hadoop cluster)

Is that a real company? Your website is all "lorem ipsum ...". https://ramm.science/x/signalbox/

That’s impressive. Time to hire a front end engineer and designer though.

You can do with a bad front end design if you are doing b2b since you don’t get leads from your websites but instead from meeting people .

Not unusual for people at the top of their game. I just turned down a 2M a year offer, and I have a friend who is making 2.9M USD. It's just a value proposition, he makes the company a lot more than 2.9 million a year, and when you negotiate you negotiate on value (and not on time) then you can justify these salaries.

Is 800 transactions per second good? It seems like a low number but what do I know. I am impressed that Europe's largest betting system only does 800 transactions per second.
