This blog is so biased and without checking any facts. 20 M in revenue makes no sense for Vertica. Vertica doesnot even have real customers except downloads.

My financial involvement in Vertica is similar to my involvement in ten or so of its competitors. All are customers. Vertica is a smaller customer than a number of its competitors. No and no.

What if they said 100 next week, should we believe them? So we just have to take them on their word without any credible explanation that they in fact have 50 customers.

Conversely, VC-backed private companies are audited just as public ones are. That said, they don't RELEASE their audited or other financial statements, so it's not apples to apples in terms of disclosure.

Also, is the revenue that you quote recognizable revenue under FASB rules and audited? Start-ups are often forced to confuse warranty and acceptance in their license agreements or delay payment until the solution is delivered. It may be more accurate to say that they are owed $20M if they execute on their commitments to their customers Kurt,
