Great article on Bloomberg about Jetbrains – the company behind the popular programming language Kotlin.
Key numbers:
- Company is profitable ($200 million EBITDA expect this year)
- No VC funding from the beginning
- Valuation $7 billion
- 1,500 staff (750 in St Petersburg) – Prague HQ
It’s great to hear from other founders who are far more interested in the issue they are trying to fix than the billions of dollars they could be personally making.
