Surprised that on a forum for startups, this comment is the most downvoted. Have we lost all self-awareness?



The VC-funded startup model is predicated on becoming a large business, not staying a small one.


The storyline as I remember it, was that startups can uniquely disrupt the big organizations (private or governmental) and unlock growth that was otherwise unavailable, and that's what attracted VC money in the first place. Innovator's Dilemma and all that. Seems like an eon ago.
