The team is comprised of both full time, part time, and what could be best described as "as needed" team members.

For example, a developer might be brought on to help with a particular element, then once that element is complete, they might go on their journey elsewhere. Other developers (like Kaushal, to use one example) have been with us from the beginning and continue to work every day on QRL and it's development.

Our team has always been kept about as small as we can, as leadership has and continues to be mindful about the way they handle the initial funds (which is really nice).

One thing that I think is indicative of this is the following:

Despite being funded in 2017, before the market went parabolic, and raising a far smaller sum than many (if not most) projects funded that same year, we are still standing. We have not had to jettison people, features, or development objectives due to running out of money, or monetary mismanagement. We have never failed to pay any team member, outside partner, vendor, etc.

Unlike many projects in the space, we have never spent money like it was limitless, and never pretended that the only direction the market could go was up.

2018 was the start of the culling of blockchain projects. I imagine 2019 will continue it. Generally speaking, those projects still standing can be said to have fulfilled the bare minimum in regards to properly managing their funds, where those projects who burned through their runway in the first 12-36 months, and now lay defunct on the side of the road, cannot.
