I'm genuinely surprised at how tiny Trello is. I guess if enough of your users are paying and your overhead is low, it really doesn't matter.

Are there ads on Trello? Look at something like Stack Exchange where half the employees are sales/marketing:

Nope. No ads.
People pay for Trello?
We do, and we're pretty happy with it!
How many employees?
LinkedIn says 54. That's 222k registered users per employee. If they have 10% active users (which I think is generous), then they're looking at 22.2k users per employee.

Basecamp currently has 50 employees on LinkedIn. I'd be interested if anyone has stats for how many users they have.
