From fast growth to sustainable growth
summary
Panelists describe concrete scaling moves: companies hit 3x revenue growth while staying VC-backed, choose on-prem vs cloud deliberately (betting cloud even when slower), and shift hiring from generalists to senior experts and coaches. Analytics platform reports ~1,000 customers at ~150 people; feature-management platform moves from ~1 billion to 50–80 billion flags per day and pauses new features to harden reliability. Teams burn capital to capture fleeting market waves but keep a clear path to profitability.
