"You either build a consumer internet company or an enterprise internet company." This is true, and thus responses from current layer of mentors/experts tend to tilt towards it. But what about companies like Paypal or Dropbox who have done/are doing both consumers and enterprise face simultaneously? Like I am sure that ours is a consumer app with an enterprise use-case - so why shouldn't I be pushing it as a complete thing, and not just a consumer app? I have this karma thing going on in my mind.

Dropbox sell to some enterprises, but nothing like Box.com does, that's the difference in focus.
Both companies do almost exactly the same thing, but Dropbox is focused on end users, and Box.com sells to enterprises.
Take a look at the box.com user list - there's all sorts of massive organisations on it https://www.box.com/customers/
