Oh, I see. The parent company, Turbot, has 100+ employees and has been at this for a while.

Steampipe is a new project we launched in Jan 2021. Turbot is leading the build, and has been working with cloud APIs since 2014. We're bootstrapped, and have a lot less than 100 people, but are hiring (engineering, marketing, tech writing) if anyone would like to get involved :-)

Crunchbase says 101-250 employees, so they must have guessed wrong. https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/turbot Hope you get to that level soon, looks like a great product.

It will actually be better for everyone the smaller the number of employees is as long as all positions are covered and the bus factor is acceptable.

Remember: WhatsApp used to be 50 people.
