They want to hire more people and do things even faster!!!!!!!! The breathless hyperbole in this announcement is itself a bad sign in my book, but my main worry is that just looking at the photo, the team already looks plenty big. Much bigger than that, and you run into the well-known "negative network effects," namely communication chaos. Then you have to set up a (for some people "stifling") corporate hierarchy and cease to be nimble. Accepting outside funding is a Faustian bargain because those investors want scale, scale, S C A L E!! So now I'm worried about this company and this fairly awesome concept they've implemented. I would focus this company on slower growth with attention to continuous profitability. And if there's something you can't do with 80 friggin people (which seems hard to imagine), then put that shit in the backlog and get to it when you get to it. The core idea is sound, focus on that. But nobody asked me! :)
