~$20M in revenue from ~50 employees, equating to $400k in revenue/employee is extremely impressive for an early stage company.

What company is that?

My employer was doing those kind of numbers pre-covid, having been profitable from year one.

But we’re not really ‘a tech company’, except in as much as we have a website. We did outlast companies in our sector that expanded like startups, though.

Staying relatively small and focussed with growth driven by making money instead of outside investment might be the antithesis of what a lot of people on here are into, but it can produce better results in many occasions.

We aren't early stage. We have a growing revenue stream but have been at it for about 5 years with some ups and downs along the way. There is a product market fit but the product still needs a lot of work on being more scalable (in terms of process).

What are your primary customer acquisition channels?

Does it matter if that revenue is unprofitable and there is not a real path to profitability?
Re:Bolt announces layoffs by abraxas on Wednesday May 25, 2022 @10:21PM (#31513515)
We have been profitable for the past 18 months or so.

I like the username! I think I first heard it in the show Foundation (on Apple TV).
