This is a moot point because it assumes that we want to work with (for) any organisation on a "consulting" basis. It has never been our goal to build apps for any client. Building apps for clients was always a "stop gap" to get funds to build our own products. Sadly, (from my perspective) the day-to-day running of a "Web App Agency" took over and the "dream" of building our own products evaporated.

To be clear I have nothing "against" any of the fine organisations (listed above). If my goal was to have a list of prestigious names on a "client list" and make zero "surplus income", I would consider "pitching" consulting work to any/all of these institutions! But my goal is to build a software product that serves many people without much "manual customisation"; not to "trade hours for dollars" and have nothing residual to show for it.

Closing.
