There's some interesting data in the debt proceedings for the event startup Pollen:

Some snippets on their debts, which you cold normalize for their ~150 employees:

- Monday.com: £515k

- AWS: £105k

- Airtable: £7k

Very interesting - although probably difficult to glean any kind of generalizable pricing data because some of those vendors could have let unpaid bills slide longer than others.

Also, how is Monday.com owed £515k on a company of 315 employees? That's 1.5k/employee, so if it's an annual contract they didn't pay, that's $150/user/month?

Seems _wild_ expensive. If that's accurate, no wonder Monday.com is able to spend so much on paid ads.

> For those asking "how can a 500-person company generate a ~$500K+, unpaid bill on Monday .com when most of the eng team uses JIRA (it would imply $1,000/person for Monday, which seems high, even for a year): I'm wondering the same.

> Asked the company: they've not responded yet.
