> Their RPE (revenue per employee) is roughly $1mm and growing at a 50% YoY rate...

Meanwhile OnlyFans is at something like $30mm per employee, which is wild.

I’m pretty sure that is not an apples-to-apples comparison. Most of the people producing value for OnlyFans are not employed at (or contractors for) OnlyFans. I’m sure other gig platforms also do really well ”per employee”. A comparison between them and Palantir makes little sense to me.

neither is palantir.

Revenue 2023: $1.30 billion[1]

Employees: ~1000

So they are at Palantir levels, which still is wild.
