Yammer as a company has almost 300 employees, just raised an $85 million round, is growing like crazy, and has (a lot of) real revenue. Hardly a "small no name startup".


and has (a lot of) real revenue

Do they make those numbers public though? All I could find was this http://techcrunch.com/2010/04/26/yammer-doubling-revenue-eve...

Revenue in 2009 was “seven figures.” I asked Sacks to narrow that down in the video but he refused. He does say that Q1 2010 revenue exceeded all of 2009 revenue, and that revenue is now doubling every quarter. Yammer’s revenue goal by end of year is to be at a $10 million annual run rate.

That's not nothing, but it seems unfair to laud a company for bringing in a lot of real revenue if they don't disclose the actual number.


What private company discloses their revenue numbers?


But then how can you claim they have "(a lot of) real revenue" without being about to backup the assertion?


I just can't publicly back it up ;)
