Scrappy and Scalable

Scrappy and Scalable. No it's not the name of a '70s TV sitcom. That's the mantra for an upstart company I know. They have a small budget, they're going to get stuff done with duct tape, gum and barbed-wire--whatever it takes.

I visited their facility and it was remarkable. Nothing fancy, noisy, no one had their own office, no conference room--just a bunch of office cubicles (old ones) and a ton of energy.

Their goal is to grow to be huge. When that happens, scrappy and scalable will have left the building. They will no longer be part of the company, but without them, there would have been no company.
