		joeblau on July 29, 2015 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: GitHub Raises $250M at $2B Valuation It's probably because it has 10 million registered users. When you compare that to something like Instagram, Twitter, or even mobile apps like WhatsApp; it's not a huge user base. That being said, I like GitHubs business model a lot more because their product actually provides me with a lot of value.

Not all users are alike. 1 sr engineer is probably worth 1000 teenagers in regards to revenue potential.
