- bottiger1 3y agoIt is related to gaming, but we handle large amounts of money to keep our servers running, as well as providing revenue to Discord in the form of "boosts". It should be relevant to people running startups here.

- bottiger1 3y agoIt's obviously not a venture capital funded startup, but it's far more than $500/month. We have dedicated servers all over the world and buy transit. And I'd still consider this to be relevant to Hacker News even if our expenses were only $100/month. Some startups don't even spend that much.
