Have you built a Billion $$$ company? If so your comment is worthless.

There is also a risk of not scaling at the right time.

History is filled with failed companies that didn't scale during 2012-2022 and were conservative.

History is also filled with idiots who claimed bubble and predicting crash every year.

If I have limited ambition of staying a $10 Million company, I can absolutely play it safe and hire very conservatively.

Scaling is a Risk/Reward play.

I was a cofounder and CTO of a company that, at its peak, had a valuation in the billions. So yes.

No disagreements here.
