Wufoo makes such ridiculous gobs of money. People barely pay attention because they're located in Tampa and don't brag about it all the time - like other subscription based revenue companies we often hear from. What's worth noting is if a big company (99% of them anyway) tried to copy off of WuFoo they'd seem so disingenuous and fake they'd fail. Unless your AMEX, of course.

Can you say how much money? When they were just starting, I remember thinking, "How narrow and trivial. Do they honestly expect to make money?". I'm looking to make this lesson even more potent.

Seconded. We hear all kinds of things about how much companies exit for, but rarely about what they earn. Even an order-of-magnitude or a per-employee order-of-magnitude would be interesting.
