According to your company's AngelList page, your startup has funding, you generated $500,000 in revenue last year on 80% margins, and you're profitable on $15,000/month in paid subscription revenue.
Notwithstanding the fact that the numbers don't add up (I don't see how you produce 80% margin on $500,000 in revenue while supporting an 8 person engineering team and paying yourself and co-founder a salary, or how a thriving photo sharing service that claims 270,000 users only has "over 8 million photos & videos uploaded"), if you're profitable and doing as well as claimed, why are you engaging in unethical and possibly illegal behavior to save a few hundred dollars here and there on conference tickets? Not only should you be able to afford the tickets, any highly-profitable company like the one you supposedly run usually welcomes business expenses like these.
How is making another photo-sharing app a "higher purpose in life"?
