在 3 月份推出产品，4 月份完成 Benchmark 的 5 亿美金估值投资后《 Benchmark 5 亿美金估值领投 Manus 的背后，以及其投资策略 》，Manus 联合 创始人 Peak 今天在新加坡举办的 Stripe Tour 上分享了其收入数据。 Peak 说， Manus 的年化收入（revenue run rate）已经突破了 9000 万美金，即将突破 1 亿美金 。联合创始人 Red 在即刻上解释说， 之所以用 Revenue Run Rate 这个数值，是因为它是一个严谨的财务口径数据，计算方法也相当简单：当月的 Revenue *12。 需要注意的是，Revenue 并不等于 Cash Income。很多 AI 产品都会有年付选项，这部分只能算作预存款，而不能记为 Revenue。如果按照这种【错 误方式】披露，可以算出一个比 1.2 亿美金更大的数。（再次说明，这是不正确的计算方法。） 另外一个重灾区是关于 ARR 的计算。一个典型的错误的做法是：在产品上线的初期，用 7 天的 Cash income * 52。这里有两个问题：1 是刚刚所 说，包含了年付的 Cash，可能会多 ...
