Ah yeah, Eve has a ton of interesting business opportunities around it, everything from on demand computation/hosting (heroku) to collaboration and versioning (github). Consulting or even just building products of our own that are much easier to maintain/faster to build is also an option.
From what I understand something like Eve is begging for a hybrid product/consultancy approach...
Putting personal preferences aside it would by far be the most logical path towards building a big business out of it.
