[LRUG] 37signals - they're not doing too badly

Hello, everyone.

I'm a long-time lurker on this list, but thought you might be  
interested in a recent post of mine.  I was curious about how  
37signals is doing, turnover-wise, and decided to try and calculate  
it.  From my analysis, I think they're on track for a $5million+ year  
in 2008.  (This is conservative, and could be substantially more.)   
Not bad when you've only got nine people in your team!

I wanted to start a discussion on it, so if you go to the post, you  
can download the Excel spreadsheet I created and play around with the  
assumptions yourselves.

profitable-business/

I'd be interested in your thoughts.  I was personally surprised how  
much they make from their Job Board.

Cheers,
Jed
