Thank you for another informative blog. I am curious for opinion on example like Snowflake? Does it qualify to have developed the muscles of both growth (undisputed) but also sign of efficiency? (from its young life as a public company in the past 2 years post-IPO).

I don't know the inner processes within Snowflake, but looking at their financials, it's clear that the firm drives towards gaining and utilizing economies in scale in their operations. How disciplined are they about that, I am not sure.

Professor, what a great article and resume for those who work at startups companies. A daily challenge we leave and constant trade off we have to take to shift the strategy while growing. I say is like try to change the tires of an airplane while taking off.
