If they'll make an IPO next year they'll have to tell us how they are making money. Just wait and see.

So, 125 Million US$ revenue / 566 employees = $221000 revenue / employee. Not bad for a software company.

According to my own personal regression analysis I did many years ago, a company is sustainable with at least $50000 revenue per employee. That's my personal ballpark number.
