Ask HN: What ERP system do tech startups use?
My company (Envato.com) is looking at changing our accounting/ERP system and I'm curious to know what other startups and tech companies use? Apparently eBay/PayPal use SAP, but that is a little too large for us :-)

The 'E' in ERP is for 'Enterprise' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterprise_resource_planning), which in my mind is another stage of development beyond startups.
As pbreit says, use QuickBooks.

So far my investigations have led me to a few interesting companies using Netsuite, specifically Groupon, Sixapart, Gawker and Atlassian. Still investigating :-)
Along with this, does anyone use OpenBravoERP? Intriguingly, it has always been one of the top SourceForge projects.
Tech startups don't use ERP systems. Pretty much everyone starts with QuickOoks.
Quickbooks cloud or excel.
