This is paying users. And what matters to me is: that it’s enough to keep going, securing the service, and that the number is steadily increasing.

- moralestapia 1y ago>that it’s enough to keep going How do you know? My napkin math says they're in red numbers, but let's see yours! :)
- sjs382 1y agohttps://blog.kagi.com/what-is-next-for-kagi https://blog.kagi.com/what-is-next-for-kagi Profitable as of a year ago
- sshine 1y agohttps://nicolaiarocci.com/kagi-is-profitable/ https://nicolaiarocci.com/kagi-is-profitable/ They reached profitability one year ago, two years into their existence. It’s a cool company. Edit: Corrected from two years to one year
- moralestapia 1y agoHuh? ~Buddy, we are still in 2025 ...~ (removed, parent comment corrected) If they were profitable then why did they raise money again? >inb4, to expand their business If that's the reason, where is this expansion? Their growth curve looks exactly the same since they started ... IMO they invested a lot of money into their AI efforts, so maybe they raised for R&D? I want them to do well, it's just that I thought they already had a much larger market share.
- sshine 1y ago> where is this expansion? They hired a technical architect and an email engineer, so the biggest expansion is clearly into email hosting. But I imagine that AI R&D continues. I hope they consider more agentic extensions than search.
- UberFly 1y agoLets see your napkin math.
- dymk 1y agoWill it ever be sustainable? It’s not enough that the number goes up, it has to go up fast enough to pay the cost of doing business.
- sshine 1y agoYes, they were profitable before they reached 40k paying users. And as another commenter said: I don’t care how big they are, as long as they’re sustainable, they’re extremely useful to me.
