summary
Case studies of product focus and ruthless execution: Skype grows to 2,500 people after solving free voice/video across borders and adding video in 2006; Pipedrive starts with no automated tests and within three years moves to ~60 deployments and essentially no manual QA; Põhjala builds a beer brand that reaches top‑100 brewery status and climbs to 57th; Veriff scales from about 20→107 hires by hiring through networks and enforcing founder rules like 90% major‑decision clauses and founder teams of three to five.
