The goal of any startup or early-stage company is to continue to grow and scale (opens in new tab). But at what point does growth actually become a detriment to the company?

After working with 10 startups over the course of two decades, Jordan Posell can certainly answer this and much more.

The co-founder and managing partner at Full Stack Finance (opens in new tab) sat down on this episode of “The Grow Wire Podcast (opens in new tab)” to discuss the many lessons he’s learned throughout his entrepreneurial career, which also includes leadership roles at companies like eToys, GameFly and BeachMint.

Not only does Posell have an extensive history working for companies in early direct-to-consumer and subscription-based business models (opens in new tab), Full Stack is a service business in finance and accounting, catering to startups. Thus, he can speak directly to the service trend we’re seeing gain more and more traction (how many times has Amazon encouraged you to order your razors or hairspray on a recurring basis?) as well as the successes and failures that go with it.

Moreover, Posell dives into the big mistakes early-stage companies often make, especially when it comes to managing growth.
