Long term sustainability v0

Goals

Figure out and experiment with a long term business model for Dendron.

Details

Kevin is the founder of Dendron and working on it full time. He funds it by selling Amazon stock every couple of months. While this works for now, it will eventually hit a wall.

Kevin wants to work on Dendron full time for the forseeable future and would like to hire other people full time to do the same.
