Just curious about how the business of discourse is doing and what the plans at a super-high level are for world domination (or something equally as cool).
Not looking for revenue figures, but, I was just curious about the state of the union, sotospeak, and organizational-type things outside of big 2.0 release(s)โฆ
Weโre GROWING and itโs excitingโฆ
LOL. I assumed as muchโฆ ! Anything else you can shareโฆ?

We were finally able to obtain the discourse.com domain (at considerable expense) on February 5th 2016, and by then we were up to $80,000/month in hosting revenue and our team had grown to nine people, including our first full-time sysadmin. We colocate all our server hardware to offer the best price/performance, and we made big investments in new servers to support our growth.
As of today weโre at around $125,000/month in hosting revenue, and we are about to close our first very large client that will nearly grow our income by 25% alone. I expect weโll easily make it to $160,000/month before 2018.

The article is a good read as a whole.
That was last updated in May when there were 3 co-founders and 8 employees.
I came on in July as employee #14 and weโre now at 20.
