Great organizations are wonderful when they're effective at supporting the product or service. With a startup, it's hard to know the organizational size required because you usually aren't even sure of the size of the market. Some companies look at early exponential growth, think of it as a nearly-vertical line, and build an organization that thrives on that growth. But at some point the growth will start to flatten, and the organization has horribly overshot the mark by then. If building organizations is hard, pruning them is ten times harder.
