At the risk of being a stick-in-the-mud, there is an important distinction between profit and cashflow. The company discussed in your post has announced that it is cashflow positive.

Yes, you are 100% correct. But “cash flow positive” was too much to put into the subject line.

And for those of us who’ve started companies, getting to cash flow positive is a huge milestone. It is when you no longer have to look for outside money, or continue to put your own in, unless you want to expand beyond what your positive cash flow will allow.

So, Greg, Congratulations again!
