How is Cloudkick bootstrapped if they have 2.75 million in funding?

TechCrunch: "Cloudkick Now Managing 1 Million Servers"

Cloudkick Blog: "...we've just hit 1,000,000 servers registered all-time in Cloudkick."

Those statements aren't even close to equivalent. The HN guidelines say it well:

  Please submit the original source. If a blog post
  reports on something they found on another site,
  submit the latter.

I'm currently using Cloudkick's 1 server developer plan.

I would really love to use them to monitor all of our servers but their current plans don't work for us. We use lots of tiny instances and virtual machines. This means for us the cost of Cloudkick for each VM would be around the actual monthly cost of that VM.

If you have are in a different position to myself and are using larger instances then I would recommend you give them a try!

Yeah, it looks a bit pricey considering the cheapest paid plan is $99/month for 6 servers.
