All 50 startups from Y Combinator’s Summer 2017 Demo Day 1

Personal favorite snippet from the article:

> With this pedigree, PullRequest has managed to draw interest from 450 teams. Though only a portion of these are actually using the service, PullRequest touts a $136 million annualized revenue run rate.

From Crunchbase: founded May, 2017.

As a disclaimer, I'm no accountant, but that just seems downright deliberately misleading. Their standard plan is $49/mo.

Founder of PullRequest here: To be clear: $136,000, not $136mm. Typo on article.

Gotcha! Thanks for clarifying; that makes a lot more sense.

Congrats on the revenue and best of luck growing the company.

I bet that typo gets them a lot of extra attention from investors. Even if they immediately correct them, at the very least they've got their attention to start a conversation.

I'd guess it's a 136 thousand run rate, and there's just a typo in the article. $136 million would really be something.

From their standard billing option section.

> * Billing is dependent on amount of meaningful change per month. $9 per user per month for static analysis.

I agree it still sounds far fetched that their at the $136 million ARR, but it's not infeasible they're somewhere near the the low-to-mid 8-figures, with their enterprise solutions as well.

If it was $9/user, for all those companies that figure would require the average team size to be 2,800 people. Which is extremely unlikely.

That's a pretty bad typo. $136K.

Maybe all of their current customers are on the enterprise plan?

Probably a typo or mistake by the reporters.
