@dhh I think a lot of it is the cost of hosting freemium though don’t know if they break that out (they should)
Box has 513 employees in sales and marketing. Spent $16M, 10% of rev, on commissions alone! How much on strippers & steaks, though?

@jaredmckiernan@dhh assuming they can’t. that’s where a lot of the user #’s come from. Remove dormant or dead accounts and it’s worse -

@jaredmckiernan@dhh most tech ipos: “guys, we’re in this together. With our cashed out mgmt & you having 100% of the risk, we can’t lose”

@dhh 30k each? Doesn’t seem that bad -

@dhh Your various criticisms of startups/businesses are hilarious and accurate. Keep them coming, always! -

@dhh Sometimes I can't wait for the crash to come and wipe all of these bloated corpses away, leaving the tiny (profitable) bootstrappers… -
@dhh Someone is getting rich off of all this. -
@dhh Clearly, not enough. -
@dhh What is the ratio of product to support/marketing/etc@37signals? I would love to keep ours high. cc:@jasonfried -
@dhh That's quite a bit. 16000000/513 = ~ $31189 USD on avg. per person on sales commissions… -
@dhh wow... so if you divide that out, each salesperson is making only 31k in commissions. That seems low.
