It is frankly very, very difficult to scale fast. At a startup, it’s close to impossible. You need a lot of things that are inherently a mismatch at a startup to make scaling fast work. […] How do you hire 50 people in the next two quarters when you’re only 40 people today? Those existing customers and existing roadmap? Forget it. You’ll turn 110% of your attention to internal things and all the stuff you’re good at becomes very secondary. All the things that you’re not yet good at or frankly don’t know how to do well (I mean as an organization, not individually) will come crashing down around you.
