Obviously they have a bigger vision for the tool and needed people to make it happen

In all honesty, 100 people is not a big number, you need people like accountants, lawyers, office staff and so on

I expect the bulk of those positions to be people trying to get someone else to buy the products/services they're selling.

In the end, it might really be just 10 guys doing the actual coding.

LinkedIn indicates 40-50 in engineering out of 164 total.
100 people is a big number for a SQL transpiler with some SaaS "value add".

From a technological point of view I can't fathom how anyone would add this level of bloat to their project. Just write your SQL queries like a normal person.

A company of this size needs 1-2 accountants and a part-time lawyer.
i have a company of that size (~100 employees, 60engineers) and we do not have a lawyer on staff. We have a law firm we hire for big things, and an old corporate lawyer friend on as-needed basis who does the small things. Done
Exactly.
