My company is post-revenue. (jessicamah.com)

Is the phrase "post-revenue" standard? This is the first time I've seen it (as far as I can recall, at least), and it seems wrong -- my first thought was that "post-revenue" meant "we used to have revenue, but not any more".


I've heard it a quite few times and it's always struck me as an odd turn of phrase, but

  Pre revenue: before revenue.
  Post revenue: after [first] revenue.
probably makes sense in start up schema. I don't love it though.


Jessica Mah seems like a very talented individual - certainly very entrepreneurial (though she doesn't like the term for whatever reason). This may be the first of her startups to post any revenue, but it's a huge step.

All the best of luck, and hopefully you'll be "post-profit" soon!


Fonts look horrible with FF on Windows, but fine on safari. It's probably because you're messing with the letter spacing.
