Where did the 230-310k/employee figure come from? Looking at the graph, I would have guessed 80k-500k/employee as a more reasonable range. 10mm revenue and 100k/employee sure doesn't look like an outlier to me, based on http://blog.joshlaurito.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Scree...

The 2mm/employee cutoff is an interesting insight. Sidenote - is that what the grey line in http://blog.joshlaurito.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Scree... is supposed to represent? It wasn't fully clear to me.

Is there anything actionable that you found? This all seemed to me to be interesting but non-actionable to a founder.

>I assumed that software companies would be more scalable and generate more revenue per employee, but the numbers don’t bear this out.

Any chance that's a bias from your data? Software companies can span the gamut from startup that's optimizing for their monthly-active-user-count to enterprise-software firm that's established with a high margin and low capex.

Also, a little discussion around why you used log-log graphs would have been welcomed by me.
