Regarding "what if you get hit by a bus" question from potential "big license buyer", you could offer to put the source code in escrow so that they can have it if something goes very wrong.

Comunque, congratulazioni:-)

It's been excellent to follow Balsamiq's progress and I'm stunned by the progress he's made. Congrats and here's hoping for the best for you.

Just remember, don't overdo it. $100,000 isn't much in the grand scheme of things, so keep pinching those pennies!

Balsamiq is fascinating because following Peldi's discourse is almost like a real-time Harvard Business School case study on an evolving, successful business (not that HBS would study microISVs in the first place). Congratulations, here's to scaling to $1M!

"Comunque," sei italiano? Non ho conosciuto molti programmatori italiani quando vivevo a Firenze!

I'm from Oregon in the US, but have lived a number of years in Italy, and am married to a woman from Padova.

(BTW, I don't mind answering, but this is all in my profile).
