Our system was originally not intended to be a for-profit service. It was an open source university project, a work of love, and a chapter in my PhD. Then we realized that it has profit potential, and increased our efforts. Seeing Linguee, we had to seriously downgrade our expectations of startup fame. But we are still interested in the project for the sake of it. The previous version has several thousand users who would love to see an upgrade, and Linguee currently only works for a few language pairs.
Be careful not to fall prey to Sunk Cost fallacy.
