Growing startups can be variously successful based on a variety of factors including marketing, timing, innovation, target audience and funding.

Some startups never leave that small operating size, and some startup owners are okay with that. If you hope to be a business leader or developer with any form of relevance you need to attend to setting up the correct business operations that enable growth.
