Startups are great, right? Passionate people, working around the clock to launch ideas they know can change the world. Some get lucky and take off, going from tiny startup to mid-sized company in the blink of an eye. But all too often, what we end up seeing at this point is growth that tapers off quickly and amazing momentum lost.
