  That seems like a lot of people, especially when they buy infrastructure from Google.

    I'd imagine not if that figure includes sales team for ads, content team for discover, and so on. Especially sales (I don't have any inside information, so this is purely speculation) can be pretty personnel intensive if you're trying to court ad buyers.

  Where did you come up with that? Crunchbase says they have 100-250 employees. Their LinkedIn profile says 50-200.

    It's in their S-1 filing "1,859 as of December 31, 2016" https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1564408/000119312517029199/d270216ds1.htm https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1564408/000119312517... I hope you don't rely on Crunchbase or LinkedIn for anything serious.
