Crunching the numbers
time to read 1 min | 160 words
I’m running the numbers, and I didn’t really believe them. So I put them in a chart, and I’m still not sure that I trust them.
Here you can see our income per month for the past year. Yes, July was pretty bad with everyone on vacation and no one is buying.
March 14 was pretty good, with people buying RavenConf tickets are a lot of excitement around that. September and October were great. In fact, October was out best month ever.
And then we get to February 2015. In other words, this month. In other words, this month where we still have 10 more days to make sales.
I’m pretty happy 
. But I wished that I had hard numbers on why.

I would assume from my experience that February/March are always very strong, because usually the new year starts, and company yearly budgets get defined.... that usually takes all of January ... and then in Feburary its buying time for all the requested items over the year that made their way into the budget ( at least for larger companies it is like that, which would also be inclined to buy more licenses i would guess )
Woohooo! Great to see Raven succeeding commercially. Best 2 months have occurred in the last 5 months. Awesome.
I think devs are beginning to view Raven as the best NoSQL database for .NET. That sort of thing takes time and effort to make happen. Keep building great stuff, keep evangelizing it, the end result is something people love. Kudos to the HR team.
Regardless of the reason - congrats! You've given a lot to the .NET development community and it is awesome to see you succeed!
Feb, new budgets Sep, Oct, end of budgets that must be spent else budget cuts next year.
Also I think there might be some psychological reasons for Sep, Oct:
After summer vacation and relaxation, with fresh new energy people don't want to return to work with the same old crappy and rigid relational databases and with this fresh energy they plan moving to a modern NoSQL solution, then in just a few months the results are visible :) (That's what I would do anyway)
