I’ve thought about this a bit (but by no means extensively) and I feel like the stakes are different for tech companies because growth doesn’t require as much capital as a non-tech business.
For a SaaS tech company to scale from 10 users to 1000 users doesn’t mean a bunch more sales people and a new factory, it means having a great product and turning on new servers, likely only incurring a higher hosting bill from AWS (or similar).
In that sense, I feel like it’s easier for the sentiment to be “we’ll be better off with 1000 more users” over and over again until people start to want to optimize the business. Which means doing more traditional “shareholder value creation” that big companies do today.
Don’t get me wrong, I would love to see it happen, but i think tech just scales so differently and easier than other business types.
