BuiltWith, perhaps one of Australia's most profitable companies, has zero staff

Absurd title, but great lifestyle business. At the numbers stated in the article you get the following annualized revenues:

2000 customers: $12.4M

2500 customers: $15.5M

3000 customers: $18.6M

Assuming that margins are pretty good, that's a nice cashflow machine.

I made a site that does something similar:

Ridiculous title.

Right, I thought that maybe BuiltWith now runs fully automated somehow and the founder doesn't have to interact with his tool in any way while it silently categorizes the internet.

>Given the fact that the platform has over 500,000 total users a month and around 2 million page views, and services between 2,000 and 3,000 paying customers, it’s amazing that the team behind BuiltWith is not bigger. Other than Brewer himself, who codes and manages the entire site, there’s Andrew Rogers, who came on board early as a cofounder but does not work in the business, and a contractor based in the UK that produces content each week for the BuiltWith blog.

So... Contractors aren't staff, according to StartupDaily.
