I used 10 as a nice round number. You can scale it up or down with linear effects on the rest of this napkin math. Their careers page by the way has 8 open positions as of the time of this writing. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying this isn’t viable, I’d just like to understand how.



The economics are very different though without the overhead of a large team.

If they have 8 openings they have raised a round and probably already have slides in the deck about their plans to go upmarket and sell giant licenses to large tech companies. They want to close deals that are 25-100k/year that cover big chunks of the org.
