Does that ever work? After all, an enterprise that cannot grow at the same speed is effectively shrinking, isn't it?

- adambyrtek 3y ago37signals (and others) proved that a different approach is possible.
- lawn 3y agoWhy does it have to grow? It can also be stagnant, which is totally acceptable as well.
- waboremo 3y agoYou can't really be stagnant due to competition. Not unless you're deep into some niche that's difficult to get started in or stick around.
- eulers_secret 3y agoYeah, it can work. Valve is private and basically owns the pc game distribution market. Even competing agains industry titans like MS. I’m not sure I know another example, so maybe it’s very rare.
- xctr94 3y agoA few companies in tech have plenty of goodwill, even if not all are privately owned: RedHat (currently burning theirs), Mozilla, 37signals, Khan Academy, Mapbox, Komoot, DuckDuckGo, Brave, etc. Not all these have a viable business model, but they’re not obsessed with growth and brokering user data.
