saas123on Ask HN: How do you guarantee that your startup can survive to large customer

How does this escrow thing work on a practical basis? Do you know any good escrow agents? and perhaps more importantly, do you charge your clients extra for providing them with a source code escrow agreement, similar to providing an SLA.

Do you know any companies that provide source code escrow services and how much such services cost?

Thanks. We are bootstrapped and cash-flow positive. I guess the angel route makes sense.

Regarding running the service in a private cloud, my only fear is that it could turn out to be a can of worms i.e. a support nightmare. Are there any SaaS services that currently provide that sort of service?

I see what you mean. However, I'm not sure they are a natural acquirer. Whilst our service (an ad management tool) provides a critical function in their value chain, it provides the same benefits across multiple industries. It's kinda like how one might need a car but one wouldn't go out to buy a auto manufacturer.
