Envato's network currently generates over a million dollars in annual revenue.
Moreover, a nationwide network of researchers created by the institute generates some of the data included in drug companies' applications to sell cancer drugs.
Every day this network generates an average of 45,000 sightings of orbiting objects.

The site also acts as a social network, connecting users with similar interests and allowing user generated content on its pages.
