Good for them.

At ~54 employees according to google search, they're lean, profitable, sustainable and the employees make a good living according to their abilities. They're in control of their growth and aren't beholden to filthy rich investors forcing them to grow like a cancer.

I wish more software companies were like Basecamp.



Basecamp is the mittelstand of software companies.


There are a lot of software companies that are mittelstand-ish. Honestly, the concept could probably do a lot of good for the us economy; especially its emphasis that not every business needs to be a unicorn


This can't be said enough. Taking the time to grow the company for a long term legacy is much more rewarding than a quick buck.
