Everything else makes sense but you lost me here. Even googling the term brings me back to this page.

I assume you mean a revenue curve that 'goes up and to the right' (since that appears to be the simplest explanation) but if it means something else, or something more specific, please do clarify.

Simplest explanation is "hyper"=above/beyond and "linear"=straight line. So the revenue should do better than a straight up-and-to-the-right line, i.e. curve up. He could have just said "exponential" except some HNers would pick nits about whether that was the only acceptable curve.
