There are some info about Canonical's revenues at https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Canonica...

Full accounts at https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/05055134/filing-h...

If they'll make an IPO next year they'll have to tell us how they are making money. Just wait and see.

So, 125 Million US$ revenue / 566 employees = $221000 revenue / employee. Not bad for a software company.

According to my own personal regression analysis I did many years ago, a company is sustainable with at least $50000 revenue per employee. That's my personal ballpark number.
