Foursquare CEO Dennis Crowley, who ironically got lost on his way to Le Web, just broke some stats about the company on stage at Le Web. Crowley said that the company is just about to hit 40 employees whereas a year ago it was just four people.
Foursquare hit over 5 million users last week and is at 2 million check-ins and 25K new users a day Crowley confirmed onstage. Users are split up geographically between 60% US 40% international and the average Foursquare user checks in 3-4 times day.
In perhaps the largest reflection of its growth, Foursquare just hired an engineer that only deals with statistics.
Crowley also implied to Le Web founder Loic Lemur that he turned down an offer in the “ballpark” of $140 million, most likely from Facebook or Yahoo. Pretty nifty for something that“wasn’t meant to be a company.”
