What did your revenues look like?

This acquisition doesn't really tell us if Parse, based around a proprietary SDK, had a viable business model or not.

I can't share revenue numbers but we picked this route over multiple Series B term sheets. So, that's a measure of viability.
Back end services like these are a lot of work for limited financial reward, which is why they almost all eventually sell, if they can.
