Hope you use it wisely, especially as the going is about to get slightly difficult with a possible recession in the near future. Hiring more engineers and building a robust infrastructure is good, but just to be on the safer side, you should take a look at some historical data from 2001-2002, and see what happened to companies who funded expansions just before the crash. $29.5 Million is a lotta cash.

That's what we call in the financial industry "a shit ton of cash". I'm excited to see what you guys will spend it on. $30M buys a lot of hackers' time :) Congratulations.
