Can someone from the Mite explain what are the factors involved for varying the expenses?

Yes, of course: the biggest factor are our salaries – we're raising them steadily as we're making more money. The second (minor) factor is that some costs are rising depending on the number of customers/users, such as payment or server costs.

Did you start with Ramen salaries and are working up to hamburger? Or did you start with hamburger and working up to steak? It's none of my business of course, I'm just always curious where one puts the line between a reasonable salary and something gratuitous.

Actually, I just read the article. I'm guessing you guys aren't to Lobster yet, so it probably doesn't matter at this point.

That said, I really really really like the design of the site. Insanely so. The home page is sublime, and the 'Tour' page is near perfection. Grats and good luck.

Hamburger, I assume ;)

We started with monthly €1,300/founder. Today, we're paying us €2.500/founder.

Great work guys! We have started with premium also ( http://smartupz.com ) - but it's a very soft launch. We will go fully to market in about a month. We probably will share some figures after first quarter :)
