Something to think about...

100,000 users/customers in 3 years... I'm willing to bet that a brokerage like Ameritrade has way more than that.. so i'd count out any major online brokerage firm... beside, any deal with an online firm like that would have a structured licensing agreement for a flat fee based on a range of possible users.

Look for smaller brokerages... or larger ones that offer "packages" to a smaller percentage of their users.

Also, with this product being based on Excel, that would suggest that the product is not currently Web-based... although that leap is not a huge one. Being based on Excel does mean that a license for Microsoft Excel has to be already owned or purchased... obviously, any Office product incudes Excel, but a MS license of somekind is necessary.

As far as upgrading someone else's system... by just adding this to someone else's suite of tools, you have effectively "Upgraded" their systems.... BUT, you have not really changed or upgraded their current system... just added to it.

Just food for thought.
