There’s a helpful framework for this conversation created by Salim Ismail called exponential organizations. Instead of trying to bucket companies as tech or non tech, he recommends you look at their attributes to determine whether or not they are capable of exponential growth. For example, I think their case study of github indicated it was one of the few companies that had all of the possible attributes for exponential growth nailed. Anyway I don’t want to spend a bunch of time regurgitating the idea here but it might be helpful to take a look at it.
