You're mixing up revenue (the amount of money coming in) and profit (what's left over after costs).

Helium doesn't have $6500/mo profit -- their profit is, in all probability, deeply negative. They have $6500/mo revenue.

So they are in a good company then :)

With who? Because Uber and Lyft are very much not in that group. They're losing small amounts at massive scale, while Helium is sitting at no scale.

Good company of "magic combination of no morals, a product and rampant speculation that investors flock to."
