+1. I think rapid scale means you can't take advantage of many of the useful things about organic growth. I.e. assimilating gradually, not sabotaging the chemistry of the existing team, etc. It also means reliant on cross-cutting resources: "architects", "product managers", etc. More than anything, it also means a lot of firing and attrition. If you need 100 to stay > 3 years then hire 200 and expect to lose or fire half within a year. It may sounds ridiculous but it's the cost of scaling.
