> I’m 22 and work on a 3-person team so it’s hard for me to imagine why a company would more than 4 or 5 total employees.

You're not wrong.

I've seen companies with less than 10 employees make around $9M ARR within the first 3 years, and some with around 50-100 employees that can't even reach 100K ARR.

The smaller your startup the more faster you can go, Dropbox's main issue is that they haven't implemented Founder Mode yet. I am willing to bet that that there are jobs in Dropbox that doesn't need to exist.



Looks to me, they started to over engineer their product, just for a storage platform, you dont need 2500 people.
