Not at all. There are clear examples of when rapid growth has been neither repeatable nor scalable and the companies had to fold precisely because they grew too fast. Backblaze is a great example of a company that could not have grown any more rapidly than it did. If they had, they would not have been able to source enough drives to continue and would have been faced with some difficult decisions. Rapid growth is a great goal in some industries. But in others, a long, slow ramp up is better. That doesn't mean you can't have startups in those industries.
