Congrats! You provide an excellent ingredient to the MySQL Community, even if business-wise it may very well be competing with Sun.

Also some comforting thoughts for the future: Growing beyond 20 employees often has challenges of its own. If you are successful, you may see opportunities to grow up to 100% a year, but you don’t have the cash to hire at that pace anymore. After 50 people, this becomes easier as the 50+1 person is no longer a big addition to your expenses. But then you get to the phase where you don’t know everyone personally anymore and you need CEO and assistant people who are not techies (or they may be at heart, but it is not their job to be). But at some point after that, when you’ve figured it all out, it gets more stable.

At least those are my experiences from previous career.

Wow, it already been two years since PeterZ! Boy does time fly. I can still vaguely remember the goodbye email I sent you, and the reply you sent saying we’d see each other at a regular pace at events… true to that word we have

Congratulations on Percona turning 2. Happy Birthday!
