How is that misleading? It says "Do you work at at startup", not "did you"

I don't see revenue taking part in the discussion other than showing you have a true business model. Having a stable, profitable business model means you're a small business and not a startup.

Funding doesn't need to be able to support 30 people in order to be decent. What's decent depends on what the company needs.
