I'm curious how big their staff is, what their burn rate is, etc. I also am curious if they have 22k paying customers, how many are free tier?

That seems like a very healthy business right there, which might be able to squeeze a bit more growth out of its free tier.

Thanks for the help vardy! We're currently 22 full-time and will be 24-25 in a few weeks.

so some quick back of napkin math makes their annual burn rate around $1.6M in salaries.

That's around the right ballpark. If you want to do the actual calculation, feel free to take a look at our spreadsheet of salaries here: https://docs.google.com/a/bufferapp.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=...
