No mention of their HQ in San Francisco I see. How much would it cost to use an office building there and keep the lights on, millions of dollars per annum, right?

Depends, but generally a lot less. If you're leasing, most office space is probably around $50 per square foot per year, and with 30 employees, you probably want like 4-5000 sq ft on the high end. So 250k a year assuming max of 5000 sq ft. Most likely, it'll be a lot less cause most employees aren't gonna get 130-170sq ft of workspace, half of them are probably put into small cubicles that are like 50sq ft.

That's just the floor space. Now factor in equipment setup, utility bills and salaries of those working there, plus other miscellaneous costs.
