Show HN: Open startups with their revenue, metrics, and stories
Funny thing is I have known about some of these companies since about a few years. I distinctly remember seeing Ghost&#x27;s revenue (around $40K) and thinking, &quot;umm.. that doesn&#x27;t seem much to go around five people.&quot;; watching Hubstaff numbers (which was ~$80K&#x2F;month, I believe), and saying to myself, &quot;that&#x27;s a very niche software. Would it ever go to make revenue that justifies expenses of a team?&quot; (I think the CEO mentioned that he had taken zero salary since starting the company)<p>I am amazed how far they have come. So, a lesson learned well: If you&#x27;re starting a company, you&#x27;re fighting a long, hard battle against pessimists like me.
