can it even have crossed a chasm if it is still losing money? I'm not referring to any particular company when I answer that but, yes, a product can certainly cross the chasm before the company starts making money. One doesn't have to do with the other. Depending on the marketing and R&D costs, it's probably not inconceivable that the product could be in the tornado before the company becomes profitable. It all depends on the nature of the product and the strategy the executive marketing team uses to capture market share. --Mike Buckley
