I'm sure there are different ways to compute value, but I'm having a hard time finding one where they're a flop.
- cash on hand: $17 billion
- revenue 2024: $62 billion
- total employees: 294,000
- Fortune 500 ranking: 63rd.
- total customers: hard to estimate, approx. 100,000 worldwide
How are we defining 'flop' in this context? The metrics don't seem to show it.

It seems the key takeaway here is "You can write just-good-enough software, sell it well to people for whom it solves real problems they have, and succeed." Probably something all of us in the venture, startup, service-sector-tech space could stand to learn.
