It's just to say a startup can do great things before reaching 50 employees. Even if you ignore the crazy amount WhatsApp was sold for, you can still see that they got a pretty successful product and a huge user base with that number of employees.

It's a weird size where you're already feeling some of the drawbacks of a larger organization, but without most of the benefits. I'd almost go so far as to say that 50-100 employees is a kind of gauntlet you need to squeeze through fairly quickly. It's not good to get stuck at that size for too long. If you can't grow past it, then rethink and retreat back to a smaller startup size.
