Out of curiosity, how do you define a medium sized company? How many people, how much revenue, etc? The way people define this varies widely, so just trying to understand how you define it.
- jaggederest 5y agoMore people than it is feasible to get into one meeting at a time :) I usually am thinking of 20+ to <200 people - probably my sweet spot is around 50-75, but it depends a lot on the people at the company. Basically the size where they start wanting to have things figured out, instead of just being amazed they work at all. In startup terms? Private companies, usually post Series A (usually B or C) but not yet private equity unicorn rounds. In market cap terms it's 100m+ to <2b or ARR ~2m to ~25m for a sass-style company. still a "small cap" in the grand scheme of things.
- apohn 5y agoThanks! I think with all the well known tech behemoths (50K+ employees), it's easy to lose perspective and assume that a company like Databricks (2K+ employees) or Stripe (4K+ employees) is a medium sized company in comparison. I appreciate the clarification.
- jaggederest 5y agoYeah I mean obviously they are compared to foogbookazonpple, but I think they're past the point where you can individually go in and make substantive change, really.
