They reached profitability one year ago, two years into their existence. It’s a cool company.

Edit: Corrected from two years to one year



Huh?

~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.


> 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.
