No idea about their revenue, but Automattic (wordpress.com, etc...) might be a good candidate with 584 employees:

Re:Ask HN: How do you manage your photo library? on Tuesday July 11, 2017 @05:28PM (#14748234)
I actually still use the discontinued desktop software Picasa as my local tool for bulk organizing photos into folders which are backed up to Dropbox. I can access at home on the computer with a synced Picasa folder and access those via the Dropbox app if needed.

From there I'll curate a gallery of particular trip or event and upload to Google Photos where I can more easily share with friends and family.

You might be interested in something like the Surgery Center of Oklahoma which has an upfront pricing page for their surgery procedures: https://surgerycenterok.com/pricing/

Even though the ycombinator blog post is discussing innovation etc with regard to insurance, I like the idea of innovation on the side of service providers. And it is somewhat sad that a list of prices is innovative.

> Most Africans, for example, would kill to be in Europe / USA.

I hope you meant this figuratively, because it is fair to say that it is a completely ridiculous statement otherwise.

Yeah, I don't really understand the difference between Pirate Joe's and every snack stand that resells candy and soda they bought from somewhere else like Costco.

It could be that their office's interior design and construction was certified LEED as opposed to the building itself. There are different types of LEED certification available so maybe this is the case in your example?
