That's true, this can happen. At Mixpanel, we proactively true people up throughout the year, each year. It's not that hard of a pill to swallow when you weigh the decision of that person leaving vs paying them $10-20K more.

That slide looked very similar 2, 3, and 4 years ago. It was not enough, many people still passed on us. Raising any amount of capital (in part due to the risk at each stage) is more complex than showing a single graph.

That's probably not exactly the right perspective. It's about empowering people who do not have the same skills. I don't think Weebly is aiming to replace the web developer: highly skilled people will always be in demand beca

You're right, the primary cost for us (and like most B2B companies) are the employees that serve our customers. That's about 25% for our business. However, the % of cost substantially increases to become infra for the highest volu

Disclosure: I am the co-founder of Mixpanel This is far more of a competitor to Google Analytics instead of us. Google Analytics gives away their product for free - by that measure this is expensive! Though biased, I wanted to point out a

It's native only but we are thinking about making a wrapper to make it interoperable between iOS and Unity. You should be able to drop it in despite unity but it may require some small extra work. We can help if you email support@mixpa
