Brand recognition is no small thing. Hyper growth is what a lot of companies are going for, because that's the model that lead to amazon dominating the world. Ubering being a verb is very valuable.
- disgruntledphd2 7y agoHypergrowth from re-investing profits is very different from hypergrowth from kind investors. One of those leads to massive profit (eventually), and we'll see what happens with Uber.

Many companies bet that the growth story is better than early profitability. Market seems to agree. Remember, even Amazon loses money on almost everything and their cash cow is AWS.
