why are we so fixated on scaling companies? there are certainly more companies that simply failed because they thought they needed to put in the organizational structure to be huge rather than doing what startups are supposed to do - be plucky and creative and work work hard and create something of unique value. that's enough to get you your 9 figure exit. maybe companies have lifecycles, and maybe blowing out an org chart 4 levels deep is a problem for the next team?
Because you don't want your company to fail because you failed to scale while your business was growing? What a terrible reason to fail; that's an own goal.
