The Scaling Challenge

Why Technical Teams Struggle to Scale

At the Series A to B stage, success depends more on leadership than technical excellence. Here's what's holding most teams back:

Team Dynamics Breaking Under Hypergrowth: As you scale from 20 to 100+ people, communication breaks down, decision-making slows, and team cohesion fractures.
Operating Systems Failing to Scale: The informal processes that worked at seed stage become major bottlenecks, causing missed opportunities and frustrated teams.
Cultural Dilution During Rapid Hiring: Fast growth and quick hires threaten to erode your core values and dilute the culture that drove early success.
Technical Founders Struggling with People Leadership: The skills that built great products don't translate to building great teams, leading to misalignment and execution gaps.
