Not necessarily. I know a number of software companies that are privately held and don’t feel a need to “scale” because they want to live their lives like they want to live their lives. Sometimes that means saying “not interested”, and once you’re at a certain income level, why go through the hassle of trying to get mega rich?
They cut off 3/4 of their products, changed their name to the one product left, and haven’t released a new version in 6 years. Dead company walking.
