When I went through YC, one of the things the partners beat into our heads was "more employees ≠ success." I don't think that's changed. I see the headcount guidelines for YC Growth not as a belief that "headcount = success," but instead an attempt to create a batch of companies facing similar challenges - the people challenges that come as a company grows from 50->150. If you can avoid the 50->150 problems by scaling your company's impact without having to scale headcount, that's incredible! You might not need YC Growth.
