i hear you. however my b2b saas business does 2M+ arr with 12 employees and still i would not consider us "massively profitable". no doubt there's a big difference between our cost structures and the biggest is probably emplo

i've read a number of comments here who think the goal is to "extract the max dollar figure from customers". and they make that sound so negative. well, the truth is that with that extra money, we hire engineers to improve

Han Solo: I must have hit her pretty close to the mark to get her all riled up like that, huh, kid? Yale is going to end up on the wrong side of history in this one. And the irony is that the dean is a professor of history.

I really like what these guys are building. Real market, real need, real customers. Great approach to solving the problem too. I'd definitely bet on this type of product being the future of senior monitoring.
