      Picture going up to a local pizza shop and saying, "How will you ever do well if you have no plans to scale to be a national chain?!" That's a lot of tech's attitude toward starting a business, and it's really quite silly when you compare it to other industries

      One thing worth noticing about this example: In this context, a local pizza shop can be a treasure in a community-- much higher quality, better customer service, and much better for their community than the big chains are. That also translates into the tech industry in many ways

      We talk about the quality degradation that comes with scaling a company big, both in terms of ethics and product, in other industries all the time.

      One surprising thing to me about running a business has been the sigh of relief from customers when we say we've got no plans to scale big & no investors. Just telling them that and saying we're fully funded by customers has been a compelling part of our sales pitch.

      Even with all this tech industry hype about scaling big and being unicorns, a customer doesn't care that there's a slim chance you could be making billions of dollars, they just want the product they like and depend on to keep being good and be stable.

      Replying to @sehurlburt

      I've experienced exactly the same thing at @tildeio. To customers, "taking VC $" or "trying to scale big" is highly correlated with "won't be around in 18 months"
