Quote: “I started noticing patterns in startups — which I’ve validated with executives and VCs over the years — that how companies scale and break matches <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_organization" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Military Organization</a>. So, the most efficient group in the military is a group of three, then a group of eight, and then three groups of eight, so 24,” says Halim. “Look across companies and you’ll see that around 24 people, someone speaks up to say, ‘We need a manager.’ If a startup makes it to 48 people, the next break is often in HR. And so on. As they scale, companies have more predictable breaking points.” End quote

    Interesting. With the group of three, we're on the right path ?
