Hey Solomon,

question coming from a sales guy among this crowd... Who does this impact the most and what outcomes does that help them achieve? At the end of the day, you need to pay the bills, for you and your team, who is going to sign the dotted line and tell you that yes "I need to invest $100k on this because it solves a major pain!"?

Whilst I can see this as a nice to have, I'm having a hard time understanding who your target market is going to be...

At the end of the day, I presume this is going to end up becoming a full fledged company, with its sales team, marketing and what not. What are you thinking about in terms of revenue channels so far ?

As someone who does a bunch of CI/CD work, the answer is: supply chain and the security therein is a major focus of enterprises right now. Security folks as well as ops folks are keen on this. Big question is can those two groups convince the developers that this is a good idea (though vice versa should be fairly easy at a certain company size).

That's fine, I don't deny that, companies like circleCI and co are doing really well, but Docker is also critical to a lot of enterprise as well and yet the business model was not as strong as initially thought.

I'm curious to understand what the pricing is going to be and whether it's going to be well recieved or not (and right now, there is nowhere on dagger.io's website where pricing is mentioned)
