I'm a little curious how it would stack up vs an index or Amazon stock.

I wouldn't say no to an investment that is 5x over 11 years.

It's not 5x though, it's more coz Jeff still has the ownership AND he has seen 5x cash back.

It's decent at 15%+ annual yield. But Basecamp has likely gone 5x up or more since in value as well. Highrise has gotten a boost since they semi spun it off with Nathan Kontny as the CEO.

That's 16% of annual return rate.

Though AMZN did considerably better over the same period.
