You’ve got to keep your personal learning curve ahead of the company’s growth curve. - Reid Hoffman

Yet despite these offensive reasons to scale, the most common driver of blitzscaling is the threat of competition. Even without competition, you would still want to achieve first-scaler advantage and climb the learning curve, but you might prefer the less risky fastscaling approach to growth. Ask yourself, “Can somebody else realize this opportunity before me?” If the answer is yes, moving faster probably reduces the risk of competition more than it raises the risk of failure. The more intense the competition, the faster you should try to move.

What you say 'no' to is more important than what you say 'yes' to.

Third, blitzscaling opens up access to capital, because investors generally prefer to back market leaders.
