37signals Releases Backpack Financial Numbers

if you're really determined to figure out their revenue, work your way backwards from their 9 employees. Most software companies take in $100,000-$200,000/yr per employee per year in top line revenue.

my random guesses for their revenue:<p>- basecamp: $550,000/yr<p>- signal vs noise (jobboard + deck): $200,000/yr<p>- backpack: existing + new customers = $100,000/yr<p>- highrise: $100,000/yr<p>- campfire / writeboard / ta-da list: $75,000/yr<p>- get real book: $75,000, span of its entire publication run<p>37s is at least a 1 mil a year company

Misleading title. They only shared the numbers from yesterday.

37signals / basically the google of the SAAS model.
