I would have loved to talk with you but we have no "monies". Maybe in a few years when we have many monies to hire you all. I know exactly what you mean when you talk about a tiny, tightly knit, team that slays dragons.

We'll see if we can sort you guys out for some time :)
No outright promises though.. but wtf... team spirit is a thing.
If they Can’t meet their SLA and are only up 99.99% then they might give a 50% discount to the customer. It could be a risk they dare to take since they might have figured out in practice that AWS is up far more often and that the chance of not meeting their own SLA is one in twenty years. So on average, it would mean they will have 97.5% of their revenue, since in one year (on average) they wouldn’t meet their SLA and give a 50% discount (contributing 2.5% instead of 5% over a 20 year total). I assumed no company growth, for the sake of my example.
Just brainstorming
