My first thought when I read about the funding was that they would need a pretty robust back-end. Not only are they storing pictures to relay to other people in an area, but Color also has to catalog them several ways: geographically, by privacy settings, by groups, by time, etc.

Being able to do all of that with a minimum of fuss and delay all over the world will probably take a lot of stuff behind the scenes that I can't imagine. On top of that, staff to support it.

But yeah, 41 million seems a bit excessive.
