Interesting. I thought start ups are commonly not in profit

It was founded in 1999 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SurveyMonkey).

It's not a Startup, it's a 19 year old company providing Internet based service.

Revenue !== profit. One would expect revenue to be growing at a steady clip with profit coming later when costs are decreased

The OP is using "earned" in the colloquial sense to refer to revenue. Earning before interest and tax (EBIT) were a loss of $35 million in 2016 and a loss of $21 million in 2017
