Also with pricing starting at $5 and capping at $25 your going to need a gigantic amount of paying customers just to get to a reasonably sustainable MRR of $20,000. GitHub makes nearly ALL of their revenue from GitHub Enterprise, there is not enough money in their standard monthly plans.

(edited to make this more about our experience)
We find that customers coming to GitGo are medium sized business that don't want to have to manage / be responsible for their codes safety.
Whoa, didn't expect that at all. Super interesting. Do you have a source for that?
I've talked with a few people who previously worked on the GitHub enterprise team (both in sales and engineering). However, I suppose that I can't say it with 100% certainty. Are you aware of something different?
We will likely offer enterprise at some point however we offer services like deployments that wouldn't be easy to setup out of our infrastructure.
Thanks for your feedback.
