Not sure what hyperscale qualifies as. I do agree that companies which are only building a webapp or mobile app can scale and grow in a very different way than companies that need to build infrastructure.
>I'm unaware of any biotech startups that have grown to hyperscale.
Genzyme[0] comes to mind, founded in 1981, went public in 1986 (raising 28.2 million [1]). It was acquiring other companies, building manufacturing plants at a pretty fast pace. Not sure if you would call it hyperscale.
What do you think about companies like spacex or tesla which are science heavy?
