That's fine, but what's your actual point? That it's broadly possible to make money in the world with less headcount than 1800?

I'm sure there are hedge funds out there with only 100 employees and $30 billion under management.

That has nothing to do with anything.

Hedge funds?

We were a software company, the only thing we shipped was software. We shipped a hell of a lot more code than Snapchat. We had many products, some fairly complex. We even developed a bunch of internal tools as well.

I obviously wouldn't be comparing the head count of a financial management company with a software company.
